Chapter 576: Encirclement and Slaughter

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Augustus, the Corpse Wizard King, Ophelia, and others that were ordered by Yang Ling started bustling quickly, and they worked throughout the night to upgrade the Beast Soul Altar. They had the necessary workforce and they managed to quickly transfer laborers from the numerous tribes. As for Magical Beasts’ Essence Crystals and Premium Crystal Ores, they weren’t an issue, and they had a mountain of them.

The wealth accumulated by the Church for thousands upon thousands of years in the Holy City was plundered by them, and it was finally put into use. After the numerous tribes got an urgent summon order, they quickly sent their best warriors and spellcasters, and even the Sea Demon Tribe in the distant sea several tens thousand miles from them dispatched people. Eliza quickly rushed over through a Teleportation Formation Spell with a dozen of her clansmen.

The Great Wizard Pagoda was in a giant castle, and in people’s eyes, the castle was the unique Holy City of the Wizard Sect in the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension. Getting to participate in building something was a great honor for every tribe, and if they could get Yang Ling’s appreciation, then they would bring endless benefits to their tribes.

“Adonal! Hurry up, hurry up and polish this Crystal Ore.”

“Podko, Hurry up and move quicker.”

...

After the various tribes’ warriors and spellcasters understood their tasks, they started bustling quickly and started dealing with large pieces of Crystal Ores, while some of them carved complex Magical Formation Spells on them. As for the Dark Dragon King, Giant Ape King, and others, they also participated in this operation, and they led the Magical Beast Army as they bustled.

“Hurry up! Set up all Crystal Ores and Magical Beasts’ Essence Crystals. You must finish this before daybreak. Hurry up!” The Beast Soul Priest Augustus was walking around and was frequently amending people’s mistakes. He was like an executive director and he seemed proud of himself.

At first, Augustus assumed that he wouldn’t manage to make another breakthrough in his life and didn’t expect that he would become a Mid-Level Beast Soul Priest after following Yang Ling. After he made an advancement, he just started speaking excitedly and didn’t expect that Yang Ling would take him seriously and carry this out on the spot. Yang Ling started promptly transferring all resources to upgrade the altar.

Would it be upgraded by two levels or even three levels in succession?

As Augustus observed the busy crowd and the mountains of Premium Crystal Ores and Magical Beasts’ Essence Crystals, he got quite excited, and he started making guesses by how many levels would the Beast Soul Altar be upgraded this time.

Building a simple First Level Altar would consume a shocking amount of Crystal Ores and Magical Beasts’ Essence Crystals, and upgrading it was more costly. For the past thousand years, the Orc Empire had only managed to build several simple altars by putting a lot of effort in this endeavor and even if someone became a Mid-Level or High-Level Beast Soul Priest, they still didn’t have enough resources to upgrade the Beast Soul Altar. This was he didn’t expect that Yang Ling would manage to instantly transfer over a large amount of Premium Crystal Ores and Magical Beasts’ Essence Crystals.

The higher the amount of Crystal Ores and Magical Beasts’ Essence Crystals, the stronger the Beast Soul Altar’s power. It was really unimaginable by how many levels would the Beast Soul Altar be upgraded after putting this mountain of Premium Crystal Ores and Magical Beasts’ Essence Crystals into it.

In the beginning, the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension didn’t have daytime or nighttime, and illumination was always the same. But since an unknown time, some changes started occurring slowly, and the intensity of illumination started changing according to a certain pattern. This was why daytime and nighttime gradually appeared, while many white clouds also appeared in the sky, and this place seemed more like an independent Materialistic Plane.

After the crowd got to see Yang Ling, they became more enthusiastic and started upgrading the altar at the highest speed possible and many pieces of Premium Crystals were spread on the ground according to Augustus’s instructions. They set up a layer of Magical Beasts’ Essence Crystals before they put on it clay and hard limestones. Soon after, they carved complex Magical Formation Spells on them before they set up Premium Crystal Ores atop them. They started making layer upon layer according to this cycle.

They had a large workforce, abundant resources, and experienced spellcasters.

The crowd worked together with a common purpose, and they finally managed to finish the altar’s upgrade before daybreak. The altar occupied an expanse larger than before by several folds, and several hundred large Magical Beasts could be fused with it at the same time. Many complex designs were carved upon the whole altar and they emitted wave upon wave of intense energy. Everything was ready, and just the last simple step was left. As long as Augustus recited the incantations and activated the altar, the last step for the altar’s upgrade would be finished.

The last moment where they would witness the altar’s upgrade finally arrived.

As the crowd looked at the altar that turned bigger than before by several folds and detected the intense Energy Ripples in the air, they became excited and nervous. This was also the case for Augustus and he took several deep breaths before he strode forward. He cut off his wrist with a knife and dripped his fresh blood on the altar before he started mumbling to himself slowly.

“God said that the earth is our mother and that the distant North Sea Plane is our homeland.”

Augustus started talking loudly and let his fresh blood drip. A drop, two drops... More and more drops fell, and after the fall of every drop of fresh blood, the altar would flicker and would emit wisps of black gas, while a bleak voice spread far away, and it seemed like a devout believer’s prayer.

Ancient Sacrifice Words?

As Yang Ling listened attentively to Augustus’s incantations, he got an idea about this, and he recalled the Ancient Sacrifice Words recovered on the stele. They were also deep and bleak!

Swoosh!

As Augustus mumbled, more black gas emanated from the altar, and the whole altar was engulfed by it. Augustus lost so much blood that his face turned pale, and his body swayed. He had almost fallen into the ground. As for the dense black gas, it let a swooshing sound as it started whirling and it emitted wave upon wave of intense Energy Ripples.

The altar was upgraded smoothly in front of the crowd’s nervous gazes.

“An upgrade of three levels in succession. Lord! It was upgraded by three levels in a row.” As Augustus observed the large Beast Soul Altar that was engulfed by black gas and looked at the patterns on it that flickered with black light, he was overjoyed. “A Mid-Grade Altar! It was upgraded from the First Level to the Fourth Level, and it became a Mid-Grade Altar.”

“What benefits will we get for its upgrade to the Fourth Level?” Yang Ling spoke as he cast a meaningful glance at the beauty Sala. He asked her to staunch the bleeding of the overjoyed Augustus.

“It will form more powerful Mutant Magical Beasts because it was upgraded into a Mid-Grade Altar.” Augustus was quite excited. “After I try it for a period, I may probably become able to control Magical Beasts’ mutation to a certain extent, and we will be able to form the Magical Beasts we need.”

Augustus was quite excited. In the past, the Magical Beasts’ fusion was at random because he was limited by his power and the Beast Soul Altar’s condition, and none knew whether the fusion would be smooth if they put a Horned Bee Beast and a spider in the Beast Soul Altar. None knew what kind of monster they would form. The fusion’s failure rate was also too high, and the number of defective products was too high. This was why they got a large number of useless creatures.

A Low-Grade Altar had great potential, but it wasn’t too practical. However, Augustus had now become a Mid-Level Beast Soul Priest, and the altar was smoothly upgraded to the Fourth Level. This was why everything would become different!

According to the sayings passed on from generation to generation between Beast Soul Priests, once the Beast Soul Altar was upgraded to the Mid-Grade, they would be able to get preliminary control over the Magical Beasts’ mutations, and they might guide and provide assistance to the Horned Beasts so that it could devour the spider. They could also do the opposite and help the spider devour the Horned Bee Beast to get the Magical Beast they needed. Meanwhile, the fusion’s success rate would also be higher by much, and they would be spared from unnecessary squandering.

This was control over the path of the Magical Beasts’ mutation!

Yang Ling was overjoyed. The Wizard Pagoda’s dimension had innumerable Low-Level Magical Beasts, and if they could use the Beast Soul Altar to turn Low-Level Magical Beasts into High-Level Magical Beasts, then the Magical Beast Army’s power would rise drastically. In addition, if they could turn a group of High-Level Magical Beasts into a Level Surpassing Magical Beast or even a God-Level Magical Beast, then this would be better.

The altar was upgraded just to the Fourth Level, yet it was already so amazing. So, if the Beast Soul Altar was upgraded to the legendary Ninth Level, wouldn’t it be better by much?

As Yang Ling observed the Beast Soul Altar that was engulfed by black fog, he became quite excited. He saw a shortcut that would help him quickly increase the Magical Beast Army’s fighting prowess. Even if they ran into a God-Level Magical Beast or an Abyssal Demon, and even if a single Level Surpassing Magical Beast wasn’t a match for it, 100 Level Surpassing Magical Beasts would still be able to pose a deadly threat to it. If their number reached 1,000 or even 10,000, then he was sure that they would manage to defeat the enemies.

Moreover, if he formed a group of God-Level Magical Beasts, their power would be more outstanding.

“Augustus, take the time to familiarize yourself with the new altar, and the quicker, the better.” Yang Ling gave Augustus several instructions before he teleported out of the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension and summoned the Corpse Wizard King and his companions. “Rodriguez, you should promptly lead a group of Magical Beasts and go to explore the surrounding situation. You should focus on observing where High-Level Magical Beasts lurk.”

There was no time to lose, and Yang Ling decided to take action promptly to raise the Magical Beast Army’s power quickly. He planned to attack proactively and make a large-scale attack on the forest’s Magical Beasts. This way, he could get a large number of Magical Beasts’ Essence Crystals and capture fitting Magical Beasts before using the Beast Soul Altar to form more powerful Magical Beasts. The Six-Eyed Iron Back Lions that were eliminated previously were pretty good, and they could be put into the Beast Soul Altar along with the Evil Eyes.

If the mortar-like Evil Eyes and the Laser Gun-like Six-Eyed Iron Back Lion were fused, what kind of Magical Beast they would turn into, and what kind of attack technique they would get?

As Yang Ling thought of his Beast Soul Altar that was upgraded by three levels, he became full of expectations for the next operation.

“Lord, are you implying that you want to attack proactively and hunt the Magical Beasts in the vicinity?” The Corpse Wizard King’s eyes lit up, and he quickly understood Yang Ling’s implication.

If the Magical Beast Army used its full power, it wouldn’t be an issue for it to kill the High-Level Magical Beasts in the vicinity, and as long as they didn’t run into a freakish God-Level Magical Beasts, they would be at least be able to protect themselves. In addition, even if they set up a trap with the utmost care, they might even be able to kill a God-Level Magical Beast or a lone Abyssal Demon.

As the Corpse Wizard King recalled the Abyssal Demon Barr’s Godhead that was swallowed by the Nine-Headed Python King Hydra, he couldn’t help but salivate. That was the Godhead of a demon at the High-Level Deity Stage, and if he could fuse with it smoothly, he would become a God-Level Corpse Wizard King. He would manage to discover more secrets of the Death Horn and he would release more of its power.

“That is right, you should first scout out the situation clearly before making an attack and killing the Magical Beasts in the vicinity.” Yang Ling was resolute and decisive. He still instructed the Scorpion King Emmet to travel with the Corpse Wizard King so that an accident wouldn’t occur.

“Hehehe, pretty good. Let’s kill them all.” The Corpse Wizard King laughed loudly. He was accompanied by the Flying Dragon, as well as Emmet, and he set off with a group of Horned Bee Beasts. He quickly rushed into the dense forest around the small lake, and he started scoping out the situation of the few miles around them.
