Chapter 562: Chapter 534: Emperor One of Ten Thousand Forms
This little child suddenly caught Xu Ke’s attention.
His eyes widened as he gazed at the others.
Moving closer out of curiosity, he ca to the child’s front, stretched out his hand to poke the child’s face, and asked curiously, “Are you also a human? How co you’re on this Demon Mountain?”
With a tilt of his head, the child also lifted a hand and pulled at Xu Ke’s face in return.
“Who dictated that humans can’t live on Demon Mountain? Aren’t you also a mortal who ended up here unhard?”
He answered earnestly.
Xu Ke was stupefied at first, but then he seed to be in full agreent with the child’s words.
He clapped happily: “You’re absolutely right. Beasts and humans can certainly coexist harmoniously.”
“That’s indeed the case in our sect.”
“I believe it’s the sa here in Nanming’s Demon Mountain.”
A hint of naivety flashed in the child’s eyes and he shook his head: “Beast Taming Sect? But I heard that all the human cultivators in the Beast Taming Sect control and manipulate Demonic Beasts using the Beast Taming Secret Technique against their will.”
“Many of the Demonic Beasts don’t genuinely wish to beco their Spirit Beasts. They’re just controlled by the techniques and have no say over their situation.”
“Is this what you call coexistence in harmony?”
The child asked seriously.
Upon hearing this, Xu Ke quickly waved his hands, saying anxiously, “That’s not the case…”
He opened his mouth wanting to refute, but didn’t know where to start.
All of a sudden, as if it occurred to him, he grabbed Little Black from the top of his head and presented it to the child like a precious treasure: “Look, this is Little Black. We’re the best of buddies!”
“Yes, he beca my Spirit Beast because of the Beast Taming Secret Technique.”
“But our feelings for each other are absolutely genuine, aren’t they, Little Black!” Xu Ke swayed his hand, wanting to get Li Fan to endorse his statents.
However, Li Fan flew back to Xu Ke’s head, gave him a swipe of his paw which quieted him down.
Ignoring Xu Ke’s antics, Li Fan scrutinized the child with a face as delicate as jade, a doubt rising in his heart.
His instincts told him that there was definitely more than ets the eye with this child. He was not as simple as an ordinary mortal.
However, there was not the slightest hint of a Demonic Beast’s aura in him.
Furthermore, even when Li Fan used his Innate Divine Ability, the aura that he saw was just like that of an ordinary mortal.
This left him sowhat puzzled.
Seeing the camaraderie between Xu Ke and Little Black, the child laughed rrily, seemingly very happy.
“Follow . The city is intricate, be careful not to get eaten.” She warned again.
Having said that, she started walking towards the inside of the city.
Seeing this, Xu Ke quickly followed her.
The surroundings were extrely quiet with no trace of other Demonic Beasts.
All those Demonic Beasts that were there before had disappeared completely without a trace.
Only the two children’s footsteps could be heard echoing through the empty city—one leading and the other following.
After climbing nurous staircases for an unknown period of ti, the child led Xu Ke to a room.
As soon as they entered, the walls around them imdiately beca transparent.
It felt as if in an instant, they were suspended high in the air.
The view was excellent, and the surrounding scenery was completely unobstructed.
And beneath them were countless Demonic Beasts of various shapes and sizes gathered.
They seed to be in a heated discussion about sothing.
“Silence!”
Beneath Xu Ke were a few huge light orbs hovering.
In the light orbs, vague figures could be seen.
The one who spoke was a red Nine-headed bird.
Its voice was similar to the grinding of tal plates, very unpleasant to hear. However, it seed to hold a high position among the Demonic Beasts. Once it gave orders, the Beasts all fell silent instantaneously.
“Gentle Beasts, let us welco the great [Emperor One]. After many years, he has once again called for a eting of all Demonic Beasts!”
Boom!
With its words, the whole room’s Demonic Beasts, all seed to surge in excitent at the sa ti.
They each let out their most enthusiastic roars, expressing their inner joy.
And in the sky, a huge shadow suddenly descended.
A gray “flesh ball” that was constantly squirming, with heads appearing and disappearing from ti to ti, appeared above the Beasts’ heads like a dark cloud.
All the Beast present lowered their heads and paid their respects.
“Is… Is this the Emperor One Beast?” Xu Ke stared at the lump of flesh below and licked his lips.
“Why does it look… so ugly…”
He lowered his voice and said cautiously.
Upon hearing this, the child didn’t seem angry. Instead, she nodded in agreent: “Hee hee, I think so too. It’s indeed very ugly!”
Upon hearing this, Li Fan’s heart skipped a beat.
Daring to say that the most revered Beast among all Beasts looked ugly in the heart of Beast territory.
This child…
Before Li Fan could ponder further, the words of Emperor One Beast below captured his attention.
“My kin, I have summoned you here today because it is once again a ti where the fate of our race, of life and death, is at stake.”
The voice of Emperor One was very peculiar.
It seed to be coming from all over the ‘flesh ball’, as if it was a combination of thousands of different voices, yet when one tried to discern, they all blended together into one.
It sounded sowhat robotic, yet lively, peculiar to the extre.
Emperor One continued: “The Xuanhuang World is on the verge of the Great Calamity. This tribulation will be more brutal than those faced in the past.”
“Not only humans, but also us Beasts, even the whole world will face the risk of annihilation. Even with our ancestral mories containing ample experience of dealing with disasters, I fear we will not be spared this ti…”
When the Beasts below heard this, they all burst into an uproar.
The ‘flesh ball’ squird, the light and shadow above the Beasts’ heads fluctuated.
Thus, all the Beasts once again fell in silence.
“Therefore, for the future of our race, I need to hear your opinions.”
From one of the light orbs beneath the ‘flesh ball’, a creature whose appearance resembled the round, featureless Emperor One, spoke, “Your Majesty Emperor One, we will follow your words.”
“I, leader of the Purple Clan, will forever be your most loyal subordinate!”
With the words of the Purple Clan leader, quite a number of Demonic Beasts below began shouting in agreent.
“Oh? So, what if I decide to lead you all away from the Xuanhuang World to find a new ho?” To the surprise of all Beasts present, Emperor One suddenly asked in a cold voice.
“What?” The leader of the Purple Clan was evidently caught off-guard by Emperor One’s statent and was montarily taken aback.
Before it could respond, the old Azure God Dragon next to him preemptively asked,
“Emperor One, what’s the reason for this? Are you saying, with our great Demonic Beast power, we cannot survive the so-called Great Calamity?”
“Indeed, we’ve survived so many Tribulations unscathed. And more so, where could we go even if we decided to leave?”
