899: 898: The Majesty of Crane Armor 899: 898: The Majesty of Crane Armor Goodness, if I could just ta it as a mount, that would be so showy.
Looking at the towering Crane Armor Beast, Tang Feng couldn’t help but marvel.
“Husband, stop staring.
If we keep standing here, we might not be able to leave later,” Xue’er said, her voice laden with anxiety.
Don’t worry, even if it chases us, we wouldn’t be afraid.
However, judging by its indifference, it doesn’t seem to care about us at all.
Xue’er turned back to look, and indeed, the creature was headed straight toward the city ahead.
“Should we follow it and take a look?” Tang Feng chuckled.
“Do we really want to go?” Xue’er had initially planned to suggest detouring around it, but seeing Tang Feng’s confidence in his abilities to protect himself, she hesitated, her instincts already piqued.
After all, very few people have ever witnessed the might of a Crane Armor Beast up close—those who had were typically annihilated.
“Absolutely.
We must go.
Who knows, there might be so benefits waiting,” Tang Feng replied knowingly, recalling that the city ahead, chanical City, was one of the Divine Realm’s older settlents, governed by the chanical Sect.
The entire city was constructed using chanical ingenuity.
Its power wasn’t far off from formations, and in so cases, certain chanisms were even more formidable than arrays.
However, from the perspective of a Crane Armor Beast, an ancient divine creature, it was all just a pile of scrap tal.
When Tang Feng and Xue’er arrived outside chanical City, they saw the Crane Armor Beast already rampaging within.
The city’s chanisms proved utterly powerless against the might of the beast.
chanisms filled the skies, frantically attacking the Crane Armor Beast.
Unfortunately, it was all futile.
What defines the Crane Armor Beast lays in its armored scales—only slightly less resilient than dragon scales—and even then, just barely.
As for recovery power, the Crane Armor Beast’s scales were even faster at regenerating.
This resulted in continuous clanging noises of tal on tal and sparks flying everywhere, though none of it changed anything.
The Crane Armor Beast unleashed an indiscriminate massacre.
Anyone defiant—killed.
Anyone who opposed—killed.
In its eyes, there was only one thing: resources.
This ti, it was determined to seize every bit of resource available, to prepare for the ten-thousand-year inheritance path that was soon opening.
It firmly believed it wasn’t the only one stepping into the world this ti.
Surely, other similar creatures would follow.
Of the ten ancient divine atrocities from back then, at least five others were likely still alive.
The inheritance path, a rumored journey leading to the Divine Sovereign realm, might even reveal insights into realms beyond the Divine Sovereign.
And then, there was the Chaos Heavenly Domain beyond the Divine Realm.
No one knew what the Chaos Heavenly Domain was truly like, though ancient texts had recorded four words.
It exists, but whether one could leave the Divine Realm for it depends on one’s abilities.
Of course, such ambitions were too distant for now.
First, it was ti to gather a load of resources.
“Who is the City Lord here?
Show yourself imdiately, or chanical City will cease to exist!”
Divine Beast Master, please show rcy.
A finely dressed old man appeared before the Crane Armor Beast, trembling with fear.
Fighting was out of the question.
Moreover, he didn’t even know what kind of divine beast this was.
He’d never heard of it, let alone seen it before.
Its strength was comparable to that of the Divine Dragon clan.
“Kid, this master isn’t unreasonable.
Here’s the deal—I want half of this city’s resources.
You have two days to deliver.
If you fail, don’t think anyone will leave.” The Crane Armor Beast said.
“Yes, I will ensure it is done,” said the City Lord of chanical City, gritting his teeth.
What humiliation!
He’d never suffered such indignity before, being forced to bow and scrape like this.
“Prepare a place for to stay,” the beast added as its enormous fra shrank slowly, eventually becoming only the size of a cow.
“It can’t transform into human form?” Tang Feng and Xue’er entered the city and looked at the chaotic streets, both struck speechless.
To achieve its goal, the Crane Armor Beast clearly didn’t care whether divine lives perished.
To it, life was so fragile.
But then again, if Tang Feng were in its position, would he care?
He didn’t know either.
Isn’t strength ant to be displayed?
In the Divine Realm, nobody lives long without cunning.
The older one gets, the more they resemble a wily old fox.
Take the City Lord of chanical City, for instance.
Did he truly care about the city residents?
Hardly.
In the end, it was still about the city itself.
Losing it would make building another of its kind almost impossible.
Moreover, the chanical Sect would undoubtedly co down hard on him again.
The major families residing within the city shared the sa sentint.
None wanted their investnts and hard work to go up in smoke.
Despite the pain, they grudgingly handed over half their family resources.
Suddenly, Tang Feng ca up with an idea: why let the Crane Armor Beast have it all?
How about stealing the food from the tiger’s mouth?
Two days later, just when the chanical City Lord had gathered everything to hand over to the Crane Armor Beast, he found the treasury completely empty.
An absolute void.
How could this happen?
To keep things secure, he had stayed here the whole ti, yet right under his nose, everything was gone.
No!
Fury erupted.
As an Emperor Realm Peak expert, his wrath sent chills across the entire city.
“Who did this?
Who stole the resources of my City Mansion!”
In his rage, he completely forgot about the horrifying presence still lingering.
Slap!
A sudden, painful cry—he’d been smashed to the ground by a giant paw.
“Why are you yelling!?
You’re disturbing !” The Crane Armor Beast growled.
The chanical City Lord was stunned, suddenly recalling that an even more terrifying creature was present.
Swallowing his pain, he approached the Crane Armor Beast, “Divine Beast Master, please help make this right.
The resources I spent the past two days collecting—they’ve just been stolen.
I was about to deliver them to you.”
“Do you know the consequences of lying to ?”
“I wouldn’t dare!
It’s the truth—they were truly stolen.”
The Crane Armor Beast, a relic with millions of years of experience, naturally detected no falsehoods.
A cold sneer ran through its heart.
Soone had the audacity to ddle under its nose?
That was courting death.
Its divine sense blanketed the entire city.
Oh?
It spotted the two brats who had trailed it earlier.
What nerve they had to follow along.
“This is bad!
That thing’s spotted us,” Xue’er squeaked in fright.
Tang Feng gently patted her hand.
“Xue’er, aren’t you a Divine Emperor now?
Relax.”
Xue’er froze for a mont.
Oh right, she was a Divine Emperor now!
Others might fear the Crane Armor Beast, but she didn’t need to.
Her mood instantly lightened, “Then we should eat and drink as we please, no?”
“Naturally,” Tang Feng replied.
The two swaggered into one of the inns.
Even now, business was scarce—owners had no mood to work, uncertain if they’d even live to see the next mont.
“Sorry, we’re not taking custors at the mont,” the innkeeper said.
“What, afraid we can’t pay?” laughed Tang Feng.
“It’s not that.
With tis like these, who has the heart to cook?
Sorry, gentlen, please move on,” the innkeeper responded, baffled by their apparent lack of fear.
Right then, the Crane Armor Beast spoke again.
“Everyone listen up—this city is under my seal.
None of you can escape my grasp.
Whoever took the City Mansion resources better step forward willingly.
If I find out who’s responsible, the consequences will be dire.”
But of course, no one answered.
Who would be foolish enough to step forward now?
The chanical City Lord could only stew bitterly in silence.
“Kid, looks like you’ll still have to find more resources for .
I’ll give you one day.
If you fail, you’ll all die.” With those words, the beast suddenly appeared before Tang Feng and Xue’er.
The sudden appearance startled Xue’er.
“Not bad, kid.
You’ve got guts.
But do you know who I am?”
“You’re the Crane Armor Beast, aren’t you?
Or have I mistaken you for soone else?” replied Tang Feng.
“Uh, so you do know .
No wonder you’re so fearless.
Do you think I won’t kill you?”
“Would you really waste your ti?
We haven’t done anything to bother you,” Tang Feng said with a grin.
“That may be true for now, but who’s to say about the future?”
“Hah, as the rumors say—your thods are ruthless and precise,” Tang Feng remarked with a smile.
