Chapter 701: 695 Chapter: The Path of the Overlord
Flowery Kingdom, Waterland City.
The dense clouds slowly dispersed, revealing the azure sky and the countless corpses of Beasts beneath the city walls.
Boom!
Scarlet blood sprayed incessantly; a giant beast, over thirty ters high, thunderously fell to the ground, its face still etched with disbelief and despair.
“Cough, cough!” Guildmaster Maud, his face pale, coughed up two mouthfuls of black blood, and his Contracted Battle Pets were all seriously injured.
“Since when did a Class VI apex Poisonous Giant Ape appear in Waterland City!”
If Director Goldsmith had not assisted by controlling the Twelve Cities Heavenly Circle today, he may well have died in battle here.
At that mont, Jerald Goldsmith was also looking up at the suddenly clear sky, his face showing surprise.
He was privy to so inside information and knew the demon subjugation plan was extrely dangerous; otherwise, his alma mater, Peony College, would not have dispatched Five Venerates and a Deity Child.
As it turned out, events unfolded just as the Saint Behemoth had prophesied—dangerous, yet without peril!
Who could have expected that the Saint Behemoth would predict events thousands of years in the future with such accuracy? Was this the mighty power of an Immortal?
On the other side, one of the Five Greats, Mr. Divot, stretched lazily, ready to leave.
“The Mystery Power dissipates, the demonic aura vanishes, Lilith has succeeded. There’s no point in staying here. The follow-up work is up to you young folks!”
After speaking, he didn’t even call his Pet; his Star Ring shone brightly for an instant, and his figure disappeared in a flash.
Upon hearing this, the other Four Venerates also sighed with relief, except for a long-haired young man whose brows were slightly furrowed.
“Jerald, why do I sense a hint of disappointnt in you?” a hearty voice called out.
The person who spoke was Joey Wood, a legendary powerful trainer from the Peony Beast Legion’s Northern Military District and the most special among the Five Greats. He possessed great Energy within the upper echelons of the Cathay Kingdom.
Jerald Goldsmith shook his head, “Disappointed about what? The current outco is the best we could have hoped for. I’m just surprised at Lilith’s strength. She was able to suppress the Demon God with a group of hindrances in the Demise Relic—her power is extraordinary!”
On hearing this, the other three felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.
They understood what Jerald Goldsmith implied: if Lilith could suppress the Seven Definite Dead Demon, she might not be far from breaking through to Immortality!
As Deity-level powerful trainers, they cared not for mundane power or profits, nor did they care about temporary gains and losses; they only cared about resources related to Immortality.
But the national treasury had only a few immortal resources, and the precious spots would be reserved for those legendary powerful trainers who had the most hope of breaking through to Immortality.
Given the limited resources, to so extent, they were competitors with Lilith.
Of course, due to the external threats of Mysterious Beasts and other Beasts, coupled with the Flowery Kingdom’s Big Five’s interconnected yet competitive relationship, the spots for immortal resources were generally awarded to those who perford most excellently in national and demon-subjugation wars, recognized by their rits.
“Do we need to probe a bit?” another Venerable spoke.
The next round of the national wars was about to begin, and they needed more information about Lilith to be as prepared as possible.
“Of course,” Jerald Goldsmith said with a smile.
“Oh, I nearly forgot sothing. Lilith has a disciple who is quite renowned among the younger generation and is considered the strongest of the new generation!”
“I’ve heard as well, not even Martini Goldsmith and Rudolf Sherwood stand a chance against David Jones!” the mature woman in a black battle suit exclaid.
After watching David Jones’s competition videos, she had to admit that even if she had been in the sa era as David Jones, she still wouldn’t have been a match for him!
Joey Wood frowned slightly and said, “Why bring up David Jones all of a sudden? Even if he’s extrely talented, it would take him at least a few hundred years to break through to Legend!”
Jerald Goldsmith laughed lightly and said, “With David Jones’s talent and strength, plus the experience he gained from the Demise Relic this ti, it would be a pity if he doesn’t top the beastmaster list and elevate his journey on the Overlord’s path.”
“Yes, that’s right, such a prodigy should indeed be cultivated well!” Joey Wood suddenly realized.
To embark on the Overlord’s path, a great deal of rit and resources must be expended, but it allows pets to undergo a transformation in their life’s essence. If he were David Jones, he would definitely not miss this opportunity to rapidly strengthen his pet!
Plus, with David Jones’s title as the Rosewood Leader, regardless of whether the Rosewood’s lineage was willing to use up the rits accumulated from the last national war, they must support the current Leader.
Unless Rosewood is willing to bet all their capital on Lilith Hoyle, but that’s simply not possible!
After all, there is intense competition between the several veins within the Rosewood family as well.
“Alright, with Peony and Rosewood joining forces, we will surely cultivate the youngest epic powerhouse in history!” The three Venerates looked at each other and all agreed to Jerald Goldsmith’s proposal with a smile.
…
“Is this the feedback from ‘removing filth’?”
David Jones suddenly got up, not even caring about the blanket that fell to the floor.
“ow!”
Daphne nodded generously.
Hearing Daphne’s exclamation of surprise, the tightly closed door suddenly opened, and out peeked four little heads filled with concern and a pair of small, wise eyes; they belonged to Grau, whose dragon eyes were slightly swollen, clearly having taken quite a beating.
Before David Jones could wave and greet them, Lilith walked through the door and, smiling from the corner of her eye, leaned down to the little guys and said, “What are you doing sneaking around?”
After that, she said to David Jones, “I’ve thoroughly checked, and your physical condition is perfect, your Arcane Star has not been contaminated by the Mystery Power. How do you feel now?”
Upon hearing this, David Jones closed his eyes to ditate, then opened them again, his eyes filled with excitent.
“It seems very good!”
No need to answer. Seeing the smile on David Jones’s face, Lilith already knew.
“Your cultivation speed is very fast, so fast it’s almost unbelievable, even faster than so Evil Trainers who have sold their souls to the Demon God.” Lilith praised.
Yes, that’s right. After the battle at the Demise Relic, thanks to the ability “Immortal in Death” being constantly active, David Jones’s Tigrex Dossier advanced directly from the dium phase of Class IV to the apex, gaining a physical strength comparable to a Class VI Emperor ancient dragon.
Not only that, but through the feedback from the Beast Taming Contract, David Jones’s Arcane Star Cultivation also progressed from dium phase of Class VI to the later phase, just two steps away from breaking into Class VII and becoming an epic Trainer.
No wonder the well-inford teacher was surprised; this terrifying pace of becoming stronger was sothing even David Jones himself found hard to explain.
There are so many monstrous Trainers in this world; aside from himself, who else could unlock the achievent of reaching the later phase of Arcane Star Class VI at the age of twenty?
Seeing the hint of hesitation on David Jones’s face, Lilith smiled and said, “No need to explain, not many dare to question the disciples of Lilith Hoyle.”
Moved by these words of staunch support, David Jones felt touched.
“Grau, David Jones needs to rest now, co out with for a mont.”
After having a brief chat about what happened inside the Relic and making sure David Jones was alright, Lilith Hoyle let out a sigh of relief and quickly pulled Grau aside to prevent him from becoming a third wheel.
