37: Chapter 37: How did it evolve again?

"This… how could this be?!"

Xia Youchu's pupils constricted, her face filled with disbelief. "Didn't Chairman Zhao and the others go over there long ago?! With Peak Yuanling Realm strength and the Silver-Winged Griffin, how could they possibly let it complete its transformation into a Thunder Jiao?!"

According to the plan, Chairman Zhao should have used thunderous means to slay that Thunder Serpent after they cleared the perimeter!

How did it end up like this?

Could something have gone wrong?

Ling Tian watched the figure transforming in the lightning in the distance; the terrifying pressure made even it feel immense stress!

It could feel that the Thunder Serpent currently transforming into a Thunder Jiao was undergoing a qualitative leap in its energy level!

"It seems the situation over there isn't looking good."

Ling Tian conveyed its thoughts, "But neither of us can do anything. Even if we had the ability to stop it, it's too late to go over now."

Xia Youchu bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes filled with anxiety.

However, just as Ling Tian said, rushing over now would likely only result in watching it complete its transformation helplessly.

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of the valley in the center of Falling Thunder Ravine.

An incredibly intense battle was underway!

Boom!

Bang!

The explosions from colliding Qi, the roars of War Beasts, and the clashing sounds of weapons rang out incessantly!

Blood trickled from the corner of Chairman Zhao's mouth, and several deep claw marks appeared on his light armor. He held a giant axe the size of a door panel, fighting side-by-side with his Silver-Winged Griffin, his eyes filled with rage.

His opponent was a middle-aged man wearing a robe adorned with hundreds of beasts!

This middle-aged man's cultivation was also at the Peak Yuanling Realm!

He held a pair of exotic weapons, the Soul-Splitting Claws, with Moves that were tricky and vicious, and his Qi even carried a corrosive quality!

What was even more terrifying was his War Beast!

It was a strange Yao Beast, entirely pitch-black, shaped like a leopard, with a tail like a scorpion's hook: the Shadow Demon Scorpion!

Its strength had surprisingly also reached the Peak Yao General level!

Furthermore, the grade of this Shadow Demon Scorpion was Platinum grade!

It was a full major grade higher than Chairman Zhao's Silver-Winged Griffin!

Grade suppression is almost fatal when at the same Realm!

Any attack from the Silver-Winged Griffin was easily neutralized by the Shadow Demon Scorpion with faster speed and stronger power!

The Shadow Demon Scorpion was like a ghost, its speed so fast it left behind trails of afterimages. Every time its claws, burning with ghostly blue flames, swiped out, it left a wound on the Silver-Winged Griffin's silver scales, causing the Silver-Winged Griffin to roar in pain.

Chairman Zhao was also tightly entangled by the sinister man.

The black light brought forth by the Soul-Splitting Claws was not only immensely powerful, but it could also erode his protective Qi and affect his consciousness, leaving him unable to Move freely and completely unable to break away to interfere with the Thunder Serpent transforming into a Thunder Jiao in the valley!

"Scum of the Myriad Beast Pavilion! How dare you interfere in the affairs of our Cloud City! By inciting a Yao Beast disaster, are you not afraid of the Imperial Dynasty's laws, are you not afraid of the entire Human Race rising up to exterminate you?!" Chairman Zhao roared angrily while fighting desperately.

He recognized the other party's origin: the Myriad Beast Pavilion!

It was an extremely radical and extreme organization.

They believed in the so-called "Supremacy of Beast Rights," thinking that Yao Beasts were the noblest creatures between heaven and earth, while humans were merely parasites that had stolen the world's authority and should be enslaved and ruled by Yao Beasts!

They were hostile toward all Human Race forces, often creating chaos in various places, guiding or even helping Yao Beasts attack human cities, calling it "Natural Selection" or the "Will of the Beast God"!

They were recognized as a tumor within the Human Race, a cult organization!

That sinister man was a minor Pavilion Elder of the Myriad Beast Pavilion, named Ghost Scorpion!

Ghost Scorpion let out a hideous laugh like a night owl, forced back Chairman Zhao's giant axe with his Soul-Splitting Claws, and said sinisterly, "Laws? Extermination? Hehehe… Fatty Zhao, you are too naive!"

"Humans are greedy, selfish, and stupid! For the sake of your own development, you wantonly slaughter Yao Beasts and destroy the natural balance! We, the Myriad Beast Pavilion, are merely following the Heavenly Dao, rectifying things and setting them right!"

His eyes flashed with fanaticism: "Look! What a beautiful transformation! The Thunder Serpent transforming into a Thunder Jiao is a sublimation of life! It is a miracle bestowed by the Beast God!"

"It will become the new king of this region! Leading its subjects to take back the world that should have belonged to them!"

"And you humans only deserve to crawl at their feet, trembling in fear! Or… become food on the path of their evolution!"

His words made Chairman Zhao tremble with rage.

"Bullshit!"

Chairman Zhao cursed loudly, "A bunch of lunatics who have forgotten their ancestors! If not for our predecessors carving out a path and building city-states, you would have long ago become Yao Beast dung!"

"Today, even if I have to risk my life, I will slaughter you scum!"

He roared, his internal Qi erupting without reservation. He swung his giant axe like a windmill, carrying the power to split mountains and crack stones, attacking Ghost Scorpion frantically!

However, the gap in strength cannot be made up by anger alone.

Ghost Scorpion's Shadow Demon Scorpion was of too high a grade; its speed, power, and talent completely suppressed the Silver-Winged Griffin.

And Ghost Scorpion's own Soul-Splitting Claw Cultivation Technique was extremely bizarre, specifically designed to counter the Soul, leaving Chairman Zhao feeling restricted in his fighting.

On the other side, the situation of the other three Yuan Spirit Realm Elders of the guild was equally grim.

One Middle Stage Yuan Spirit Realm Elder was ambushed by a tail hook from Ghost Scorpion's Shadow Demon Scorpion, poisoned, his face turned blue, and his combat power was greatly reduced.

The other two Elders joined forces to barely block part of the Shadow Demon Scorpion's offensive, but they could only hold on bitterly and were completely unable to break through to interfere with the Thunder Serpent transforming into a Thunder Jiao.

As for those Elite Deacons at the Grand Yuan Master Realm?

They couldn't even get close to the battle circle!

The aftermath of the Peak Yuanling Realm battle was enough to severely injure them!

They could only watch helplessly as the Thunder Serpent in the valley, under the baptism of the sky full of lightning, had its body slowly lengthen, the single horn on its head becoming increasingly brilliant, the two bulges becoming more and more obvious, and the pressure it emitted becoming increasingly terrifying!

Despair!

Chairman Zhao's eyes were bloodshot; he knew that if he didn't stop it now, it would really be too late!

But he was tightly entangled by Ghost Scorpion and the Shadow Demon Scorpion and simply could not break free!

"Bastard!!" He let out an unwilling roar.

A triumphant, savage grin appeared on Ghost Scorpion's face: "Give up, Fatty Zhao! Witnessing the birth of a new king is your honor!"

"Once Lord Thunder Jiao successfully promotes, you will all become its best blood food! Hahaha!"

On the edge of the Bone Forest.

Xia Youchu, through the roars coming from the distance and combining it with the scene of the Thunder Serpent transforming into a Thunder Jiao before her, had already roughly guessed what had happened in the valley.

"It's the Myriad Beast Pavilion…"

She spat out these three words with an ugly expression.

In her past life, she had dealt with this organization; they were a bunch of complete lunatics!

Unexpectedly, they had appeared here and even successfully stopped Chairman Zhao!

"Myriad Beast Pavilion? What is that?" Ling Tian conveyed a confused thought.

Xia Youchu briefly explained the twisted philosophy of this organization.

After listening, Ling Tian tilted its head: "Meaning, a bunch of psychos who think Yao Beasts are nobler than humans?"

"You could understand it that way."

"Oh."

Ling Tian indicated it understood, then watched the giant shadow in the distance, where the lightning was growing more intense and the form of the Dragon was becoming increasingly clear, and calmly conveyed its thoughts: "Without reinforcements, Chairman Zhao and the others might be wiped out there."

One minor Pavilion Elder of the Myriad Beast Pavilion was already beating Chairman Zhao and his group with no ability to fight back, and with the addition of a Thunder Jiao that had just broken through to the Yao King level, the entire Pioneers Guild probably wouldn't even be able to escape!

Xia Youchu's expression was extremely ugly.

Could she really only watch the Yao King be born?

Damn it, why did this Thunder Serpent fail to transform into a Thunder Jiao in her past life? Where exactly did something go wrong?

Just as she was burning with anxiety, contemplating whether to take a risk and go for it.

Ling Tian, beside her, suddenly lay down and closed those cold, vertical pupils.

The Qi around its body began to converge inward in an extremely bizarre way.

"What are you doing?" Xia Youchu was stunned.

"It does its transformation, I'll do my evolution."

The moment the words fell.

An incomparably violent life fluctuation suddenly erupted from within Ling Tian's body!

Boom!!!

With it as the center, the ground cracked inch by inch, and the surrounding air was pushed away by an invisible force, forming a brief vacuum zone!

Beneath the gray-black skin on its body, dark red energy streams surged like magma!

Its body size began to expand again at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Xia Youchu stared dumbfounded at the guy beside her who said it would evolve and then just did it; for a moment, she didn't know what expression to make.

How is this idiot even more exaggerated than the Nine-Winged Golden Cicada?

The Nine-Winged Golden Cicada only evolves nine times in its entire life, but how many times has this guy evolved already?

You have to know, it is still just a juvenile War Beast!
