Chapter 737: Crisis
The Giant Dragon Valley had an unbroken chain of peaks, high mountains, and lush forests. Most of its regions were deserted, but its Worldly Spiritual Qi was very abundant. This was especially so for the highest mountain, the Heavenly Pillar Mountain. Its Worldly Spiritual Qi was more ample than the Wizard Pagoda’s Space, and it still had a large amount of the Great Wizard’s Faith Power. If one practiced here, they would save more time and get better results.The Giant Dragon Valley had an unbroken chain of peaks, high mountains, and lush forests.

If one practiced here, they would save more time and get better results.
Yang Ling was meditating in seclusion, and he studied the mysterious Skyreach Wizard Mantra in silence, as well as the world’s Energy Source. The Corpse Wizard King, the Mother Empress, and other three valiant generals had also done the same, and they were all meditating in an isolated corner atop the mountain’s peak. Even the Grand Wizard, Houtu, was sitting cross-legged atop the mountain’s peak, and he was meditating. He was wearing Wizard Seals and slowly condensing his soul that was lost within the void. He also absorbed the Worldly Spiritual Qi drifting in the air.
The Corpse Wizard King, Grand Wizard Houtu, Yang Ling, and the other four valiant generals were all meditating in seclusion. The defense’s heavy responsibility fell upon the shoulders of the Dark Dragon King, the Flying Dragon King, Seylius and the other strong Magical Beasts.
The Giant Ape King, Dark Dragon King, Burning Fire Elf King and the other people who commanded a team of Magical Beasts had all laid an ambush around the Heavenly Pillar Mountain as a precaution, and they forbade everyone from passing through here. They used the Magical Beast Army’s great power and large numbers to expand their guard’s scope from 1,000 miles to 2,000 miles. This land was heavily guarded!
In the beginning, the patrolling Magical Beasts would frequently capture or kill people who tried to sneak around here, but after a whole year went by, fewer Magical Beasts and Undead Beings intruded upon this area. However, the Dark Dragon King and his companions still kept their guard as a precaution, and they didn’t dare to take this carelessly.
Spring passed and winter came; flowers blossomed and fell down.
In the midwinter season, the Giant Dragon Valley’s weather was very cold, and this was especially so for the Heavenly Pillar Mountain among the clouds, which was covered with ice. If this mountain was observed from afar, it would seem like an iceberg with chilly, cold air. The weather was very cold and various soldiers on strategic locations had to lower their guard. The Magical Beast Army on the Heavenly Pillar Mountain didn’t have to lower their guard, but fewer Magical Beasts were patrolling the jungle.
On a snowy night, the common folks had already holed up in their blankets long ago. But in the depths of the Giant Dragon Valley, which was covered by ice, a warrior with a long sword on his back rushed through the night, and he tapped the ground softly before he jumped several meters like a bird. He was very swift, and he turned into a wisp of black smoke that rushed towards the Heavenly Pillar Mountain. He braved the ice dancing in the air and advanced swiftly. His ardent eyes were filled with anxiety. The warrior didn’t ever lower his speed, but he frequently opened his mouth to gasp for breath, and it seemed like he was very exhausted. He had already traveled at a high speed over a long distance.
“Three Great Divine Branches dispatched soldiers at the same time. I wonder whether I can arrive in time to report this. I hope that I can quickly reach Mr. Yang Ling, who is practicing atop the Heavenly Pillar Mountain. I hope that Mr. Cameron can arrive in time with the alliance’s experts. If he can’t do so...” Udonis looked at the high Heavenly Pillar Mountain that was covered in ice. He was very anxious, and he sped up further.
He was a scout of the Wanderer Alliance, and he was hiding in the Camel Peak Castle. Several days ago, he inadvertently found out a piece of astounding news. The Algernon Divine Branch, Justin Divine Branch, and the Lich King were incited by the long-browed ancestor, and they all dispatched their full forces. They planned to launch a surprise attack on the prominent Magical Beast Divine Branch and behead its Core Deity, Yang Ling.
Udonis was an excellent disciple of the Starry Sky Castle Lord, Cameron, and he learned long ago about the relationship between Yang Ling and the alliance. After he got this astounding news inadvertently, he quickly reported this to his teacher, Cameron. The latter gave him some instructions and this was why he rushed swiftly to the Heavenly Pillar Mountain to report this to them.
“The long-browed ancestor, it’s the long-browed ancestor known as Wanderers’ Killer.”
Udonis couldn’t help but think about the legends related to the long-browed ancestor. It was said that he comprehended the Wind Law thoroughly, and he could instantly kill a Dimension Wanderer with a wave of his hand. Udonis couldn’t help but shiver upon thinking of this. It was said that this old monster had already died long ago in the Unending Ocean’s God Prison. He didn’t expect for him to suddenly emerge. Even though Udonis already had the power of a Dimension Wanderer through practicing more than 100,000 years ago, he was still aware that he couldn’t even withstand a single blow of the terrifying long-browed ancestor in the legends.
Ordinary people didn’t know the terror of the long-browed ancestor, but he had already heard his teacher, Cameron, talking about this old monster’s power. A million years ago, a small elite team that traveled into the Life Dimension to kill Adjudicator Chris, was slaughtered by the unarmed long-browed ancestor. The whole team was wiped out.
Swoosh!
Udonis wanted to find Yang Ling quickly and ask him to take precautions against this in time. This was why he braved the wind and snow as he rushed towards the distant the Heavenly Pillar Mountain. But when he just crossed a mass of rubble, a dozen God-level Dark Dragons rushed out suddenly from the jungle, and they roared loudly. They blocked the road ferociously.
“Huh? Could it be that there is a large Dark Dragon Nest in the vicinity?” Udonis cried in confusion, and he sped up again.
He suddenly changed his path, and he planned to detour around the hillside. He was a Dimensional Wanderer, and he didn’t take a dozen Dark Dragons with a high-level deity’s power seriously. But he had to quickly report the Intel to Yang Ling, and this was why he couldn’t delay for even a moment. If he was pestered by this large group of dark dragons that rushed over, he would be in trouble. The long-browed ancestor and the Lich King would arrive at any moment with a large army.
Roar!
The dark dragons’ leader roared loudly and flapped its large wings strongly. It chased the swift Udonis and thrust its claw toward the middle of Udonis’ back. It had high-level Deity’s power, but it was a swift dark dragon, and it could instantly burst out with astounding speed.
Udonis snorted coldly, and he didn’t even bother with pulling his sword out. He dodged the dark dragon’s large claw and struck its belly with his fist. The large dark dragon was sent flying away, and its chest was dripping with blood. Its Godhead was almost destroyed!
“A Dimensional Wanderer!”
The dark dragon, who sustained serious injuries with just a move, realized the power of the uninvited guest, Udonis, and he quickly ordered the dark dragons with it to gather together. Even though they weren’t a match for the opponent, the alarmed dark dragon quickly ordered its subordinates to pester Udonis. It also roared loudly and asked for help from the Magical Beasts patrolling the vicinity.
The dark dragons pounced at Udonis recklessly. Some of them opened their mouths to release scalding flames or Dragon Breath, while others dived down from a high-altitude and launched a ferocious physical attack. But it was a pity that there was a large disparity between both sides’ power, and even a large number of ordinary God-level Magical Beasts wouldn’t be a match for a single Dimension Wanderer. As muffled noises echoed out, those dark dragons fell to the ground one after the other.
“That’s so strange! Why didn’t I hear that a Dark Dragon Nest was present in the vicinity of the Heavenly Pillar Mountain?”
After Udonis inflicted serious injuries upon a dozen ferocious dark dragons, he didn’t bother with finishing the fight. Udonis, who had his own suspicions about this, left swiftly, and he rushed toward the distant the Heavenly Pillar Mountain. For the past years, the Wanderer Alliance successfully infiltrated every corner of various Main Dimensions, and they collected a large amount of Intel. Udonis was a scout hiding in the Camel Peak Castle and wasn’t unfamiliar with the Giant Dragon Valley’s situation. But he had never heard about any large-scale Dark Dragon Nests in the vicinity of the Heavenly Pillar Mountain.
“Roar! Stop him! Charge!”
“Notify Mr. Seylius, hurry up!”
...
Udonis managed to crash his way here with his great power and high speed. He rushed into the Heavenly Pillar Mountain. But as he closed in on the Heavenly Pillar Mountain, more Magical Beasts rushed out to intercept him, and their power only got higher. There were Siva Giant Apes donning heavy armor that couldn’t be penetrated by any means, and there were fast groups of dark dragons and horned dragons. There were also poison dragons with ugly tumors on their heads that could spray deadly poison. Dealing with those beasts had only become more strenuous for Udonis.
When the Flying Dragon King, Seylius, arrived here swiftly and ordered the numerous Magical Beasts to form the Demon God Battle Formation to attack, Udonis bore greater pressure on his shoulders, and he couldn’t gasp for breath. It was already difficult for him to escape out of the encirclement, let alone rush into the Magical Beast’s Heavenly Pillar Mountain. He was instantly drenched in blood.
A Dimensional Wanderer was stronger than a high-level Magical Beast by a hundredfold, but if 1000 high-level Magical Beasts formed the Demon God Battle Formation and fused their power to attack jointly, then their fighting prowess would be higher than an ordinary Dimensional Wanderer.
“The Magical Beast Divine Branch, could it be that those Magical Beasts are subordinates of Mr. Yang Ling?”
After Udonis dodged a dark dragon’s large claw with great difficulty, he suddenly got an idea. He saw so many Magical Beasts, but he had never seen Magical Beasts of different species that would operate together, and Magical Beasts that could form formations and attack jointly were even more rare. If he didn’t guess wrong, this should be the invincible Magical Beast Army affiliated with the Yang Ling. It was no wonder that they were so powerful!
Just 1000 ordinary God-level Magical Beasts were already so powerful. So if 1000 Magical Beasts with a Divine Duty Expert’s power attacked jointly, wouldn’t they be more outstanding?
Alarm appeared on Udonis’ face. It was said that the Magical Beast Army had innumerable God-level Magical Beasts. So if they formed a formation and fought jointly, their terrifying power would be unimaginable. Udonis sucked in a breath of cold air and ducked out of the way. He took out a badge from his pocket and spoke with the Flying Dragon King, Seylius. “Sir, I’m Udonis, a disciple of the Starry Sky Castle Lord, Cameron. I have come to the Heavenly Pillar Mountain to report an urgent matter to Mr. Yang Ling.”
“A Wanderer Badge!”
When the Flying Dragon King, Seylius, saw the pitch-black badge in the hand of Udonis, surprise appeared on his face. In the Starry Sky Castle, he had been by Yang Ling’s side all along, and he understood that the badge in the opponent’s hand was an identity symbol for the Wanderer Alliance’s members. “Sir, the Algernon Divine Branch, Justin Divine Branch, and the Lich King dispatched their whole army, and they joined hands to launch a surprise attack on the Magical Beast Divine Branch. They’ll arrive here at any moment.” When Udonis discerned that the Flying Dragon King, Seylius, was still hesitant, he took a deep breath and informed him about this serious intel. This info gave rise to a great commotion among the numerous Magical Beast.
“It’s a first-level emergency, hurry up!” After the Flying Dragon King, Seylius, got over his shock, he quickly came back to his senses and issued an order in a deep voice. Soon after, he said to Udonis, “Mr. Udonis, please follow me.”
The Flying Dragon King forced himself to keep a composed look even though he was shocked greatly, and he was so anxious that his heart almost jumped out of his chest. After exchanging some polite greetings with Udonis, he quickly brought him to the Heavenly Pillar Mountain. Three Great Divine Branches turned out in full power, and this was really astounding news. It was too astounding, and Seylius couldn’t make any decisions on this. Even if the Magical Beast Chief Commander, the Corpse Wizard King, was here, he wouldn’t be able to make a decision about this by himself.
Swoosh!
The wind blowing atop the high mountain’s peak was as sharp as blades. Yang Ling, who sat here and meditated in seclusion for a long time, opened his profound eyes slowly. He listened calmly to the astounding situation reported by Udonis.
“Udonis, I’m really grateful for your alliance’s help. But it’s a pity that it’s already too late.” After Yang Ling understood this matter, he spread out his tremendous Divine Knowledge slowly, and he quickly found something 2,000 miles in the north of the Heavenly Pillar Mountain. There was a peculiar mass of black clouds, which covered both the sky and land alike, and those black clouds were floating over.
