Lord of the Magical Beasts

Chapter 727: Mysteries of the Nine-Dragon Divine Ring

After Yang Ling had tamed the Black-Horned Demon, Natalie, he didn’t bother with collating her memory. He quickly moved her into the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension so she could recuperate. Any Ancient Devil God that could survive the Battle of Demons and Deities was outstanding, and the Black-horned Demon, Natalie, was no exception to this rule. In the past, he’d tried to take advantage of her serious injuries and stupor to tame her, yet he had always failed. This was clear proof for her remarkable power.

The Mother Empress, the Golden Roc, and the Black-Horned Demon. Now he had three experts with a Dimensional Wanderer’s power. If they used the Demon God Battle Formation to fuse their power and formed a triangular offensive line, their fighting prowess would be as great as that of the Grand Wizard, Houtu. They might even be a little bit stronger than him.

“Natalie, take this Life Spring’s water and these Moon Soul Stones. You should try to recover your power in the shortest time possible, and the quicker the better,” Yang Ling said. He inhaled the invigorating white mist emitted by the Great Wizard Pagoda, and then he took out a large amount of Life Spring’s water and Moon Soul Stones from his spatial ring.

“Lord, thank you. This land’s environment is pretty good, and since I have the Life Spring’s water, as well as Moon Soul Stones, I believe that I will recover most of my power in a short time, but...” The Black-Horned Demon became hesitant. She muttered to herself for a moment before she said, “Lord, I... I haven’t seen the Abyssal Demon Lord, Kansas, for a long time. Lord, can you please notify Kansas and ask him to travel here quickly? Can you please allow me to see him?”

“Of course; it’s no problem at all. You can set your mind at ease and recuperate here.” Yang Ling looked at the haggard Black-Horned Demon and nodded. He gave her several instructions before he left, taking large, quick strides. He left the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension and called over the Corpse Wizard King, Rodriguez. He whispered several words into Rodriguez’s ears, ordering him to seek the Starry Sky Castle Lord, Cameron, and ask him to pass on a message for the Black-Horned Demon.

The Chaos Dimension was very far from the Graveyard of Gods and Demons, and even riding the Golden Roc, he would waste a long time traveling back and forth. If he had help from the Alliance, however, matters would be very different. The Alliance was formed of apex Dimensional Wanderers, and it had contended against the supreme Creator for a long time. It surely had outstanding skills when it came to conveying messages.

“Lord! In the last few months, many Magical Beasts have become God-Level Magical Beasts thanks to Augustus’s Beast Soul Altar, and we also have the other God-level Magical Beasts that we subdued ourselves. Now, we have several hundred God-level Magical Beasts without Magical Divine Rings, and none of them can comprehend the Demon God Battle Formation. What do you think about this? Can you...” After the Corpse Wizard King had carried out Yang Ling’s instructions, he quickly returned to seek answers from Yang Ling, who was sitting cross-legged atop a mountain peak.

Lately, the Magical Beast Commander had been racking his brains for ways to help more Magical Beasts advance into the God-level, as well as ways to get more God-level Magical Beasts to comprehend the Demon God Battle Formation. He was trying to quickly increase the Magical Beast Army’s power.

“Assemble all resources available, and quickly upgrade Augustus’s Beast Soul Altar to the highest level. You must use every method possible to increase the number of God-level Magical Beasts and raise the level of the Magical Beast Army’s power. As for the Magical Divine Rings, I will think of a solution.” Yang Ling issued orders. There was no time to lose, so he promptly took out a large number of Premium Crystals from his spatial ring. He planned to craft Magical Divine Rings himself, ones that would be able to absorb the Great Wizard’s Faith Power.

The Demon God Battle Formation had been developed based on the City Amongst the Clouds’ Angel Battle Formation. Since then it had surpassed the Angel Battle Formation greatly as the Great Wizard’s Soul Restriction Spells had been added to it. The higher the number of Magical Beasts in the formation, the greater the power of the formation. Both its offensive and defensive powers were outstanding. If he could craft a large number of Magical Divine Rings and help the Magical Beasts quickly comprehend the mysteries of the Demon God Battle Formation, then the Magical Beast Army’s power would advance by leaps and bounds.

Carving, shaping, and adding Blood Essence, as well as casting the mysterious Soul Restriction Spells and leaving a wisp of Divine Consciousness... After Yang Ling fumbled a few times, he quickly found the correct method and successfully crafted many sparkling Magical Divine Rings. In the beginning, the rate of failure was very high, but it gradually got lower.

When he’d had only a Soul Wizard’s power, he hadn’t able to directly craft Magical Divine Rings. He could only decipher other people’s Dragon Head Divine Rings and use them to absorb Wish Power. After he practiced the Skyreach Wizard Manta and became a Wizard God, however, both his power and comprehension of Wizard Spells had become much higher than before. This was especially the case for the mysterious Soul Restriction Spells; it could be said that he’d gained a completely new understanding of them.

Every time he crafted a Magical Divine Ring, he would spill a drop of Blood Essence, lose a wisp of his Divine Consciousness, and consume a large amount of Wizard Power. His consumption of Wizard Power was still manageable because he could quickly absorb all the Worldly Spiritual Qi in the vicinity with the Skyreach Spirit Gathering’s incantations to replenish his consumed Wizard Power. The consumption of Blood Essence was also not an issue because he could quickly supplement it with Magical Beasts’ Blood Orbs. Every Blood Orb formed by God-level Magical Beasts’ Blood Essence contained a large amount of energy. However, it wasn’t as easy or quick for him to replenish his consumed Soul Energy.

Even though Yang Ling had become a Wizard God, he still felt his chest turn heavy after crafting 1000 Magical Divine Rings in a row. He was exhausted both mentally and physically. He was alarmed by this, and he quickly wove Wizard Seals and silently recited a Wizard Mantra. He closed his eyes and meditated there atop the mist-covered mountain peak. He observed the Great Wizard’s Faith Power in the air ravenously, and he also plundered the Wish Power emitted by the prayers of the Algernon Divine Branch’s believers.

“An ordinary Dragon Head Ring can absorb Wish Power. So, what are the mysteries of a top-level Nine-Dragon Divine Ring?”

Once Yang Ling had meditated for a whole day, he was full of vigor, and he opened his eyes slowly. He collected the Magical Divine Rings he’d crafted. He couldn’t help but think of the Nine-Dragon Divine Ring around his finger. When he’d come across the Algernon Divine Branch’s Divine Duty Expert in the Graveyard of Gods and Demons, nine dragons had suddenly emerged from the Nine-dragon Divine Ring and protected him. They blocked a deadly strike for him. Unfortunately, it worked only occasionally because he still hadn’t refined it, and its function wasn’t put to great use.

Swoosh!

Yang Ling made up his mind quickly and took action. His turbulent Mental Energy turned into a wisp that seeped slowly into the mysterious Nine-Dragon Divine Ring. He tried to study this ring’s mysteries carefully, and he quickly saw through many illusions hidden in it thanks to his powerful Divine Consciousness. He discovered a strange Magical Formation Spell in the depths of the dimension inside the ring, and inside the Magical Formation Spell, he found a wisp of Divine Consciousness left behind by its former owner.

“Aha!”

Countless years had passed, and the Divine Consciousness left behind by the former owner was very feeble, but it still took action. This might have been due to its instinct, but it might also have been because it detected serious danger. It shouted loudly and fiercely attacked Yang Ling’s soul, which had invaded the ring. Its silent roars were like raging waves, and each wave was higher than the last. It attacked Yang Ling’s soul defense intensely.

“Humph, you really have a death wish!”

Yang Ling snorted coldly and wove Wizard Seals. He increased the amount of Soul Energy that flowed into the ring drastically, and he used a Soul Explosion at a close distance to erase the Divine Consciousness left behind by the former owner. In an instant, everything resumed its calm, and a jingling sound emanated from the ring, which had nine dragons’ heads carved on it. The ring rolled in several circles on the ground before it stopped in front of Yang Ling. Its color grew dimmer, and the ferocious nine dragons disappeared quickly.

“What is the function of the strange Magical Formation Spell inside it?” Yang Ling was confused, and he took out a drop of Blood Essence. He dripped it upon the ownerless ring. He quickly took ownership of the ring.

Buzz!

After the ring fused with Yang Ling’s Blood Essence, it shone with bright scarlet radiance, and many mysterious symbols emerged on it. Soon after, its color grew darker, and a Skyreach Tower engulfed in mist appeared in the former position of the dragon’s head. The Skyreach Tower was only faintly discernible; one wouldn’t notice it without observing the ring carefully.

“Could it be that another Skyreach Tower will appear on the ring with every Skyreach Tower I explore and with every segment of Skyreach Wizard Mantra I comprehend?”

After Yang Ling put the ring on his finger, a large amount of Faith Power instantly flowed into his body. His absorption speed increased a hundredfold, and he quickly converted the Faith Power into pure Soul Energy. He scanned the vicinity with his Divine Consciousness, which he spread out widely. Even if he hadn’t used the Skyreach Spirit Gathering’s incantations, his absorption speed of Worldly Spiritual Qi was still several hundred times higher than before, and he could get better results at practice with half the effort.

“A Core Deity Ring...It turns out that this is the Nine-dragon Divine Ring’s real function.” When Yang Ling detected the intense Faith Power that had flowed into him and the distinct growth of his Soul Energy, he nodded with satisfaction.

A Great Soul Wizard’s strongest power was his control over souls, and the more Soul Energy he had, the greater his control over the outside world would be. Absorbing the souls of experts at the level of the Algernon Core Deity would quickly increase his Soul Energy, but the quickest method was none other than absorbing a large amount of followers’ Faith Power.

The higher the number of followers affiliated to him and the more devout their prayers, the larger the amount of Faith Power.

Once Yang Ling understood the benefits of ample Faith Power, he mulled things over and came up with a daring idea. “Perhaps next I should just command the Grand Wizard Houtu, the Golden Roc, the Mother Empress, and all the rest to crush numerous small Divine Branches. I could kill their Core Deities and plunder their followers, as well as their Faith Power.”

After they’d unified the Giant Dragon Mountain Range, they had greatly increased the number of the Great Wizard’s followers, and they’d created an endless supply of Faith Power. They’ increased the number of followers exponentially, but this still wasn’t enough, and they weren’t on par with great factions whose influence encompassed various Dimensions.

There were many Divine Branches in various Dimensions. The domain and number of followers of most small Divine Branches was much lower than that of colossal factions such as the City Amongst the Clouds. Even though their scale wasn’t great, however, they still had a large number of followers. If they crushed the numerous small Divine Branches and took all their followers, then the number of their followers would reach a shocking level, and they might even become a great faction on par with the City Amongst the Clouds and other great factions.

This was the law of the jungle: the weak were prey to the strong!

Yang Ling wanted to quickly increase his power, take revenge, kill the Lord of the City Amongst the Clouds, and revive his beloved Yuna as soon as possible. This was why he only muttered to himself for a moment before he stopped hesitating and made up his mind. He used his powerful Divine Consciousness to teleport next to the Corpse Wizard King, Rodriguez, and instructed him to distribute the Magical Divine Rings he had crafted. Then, he called over the Mother Empress, the Golden Roc, and the Black-Horned Demon. He gave everyone Magical Divine Rings and taught them the Soul Wizardry’s preliminary techniques. He also explained to them the Demon God Battle Formation’s mysteries. He planned to make them form a sharp triangular offensive.

The Mother Empress, the Golden Roc, and the Black-Horned Demon all had outstanding power; they were much stronger than ordinary Dimensional Wanderers. They could easily form the Demon God Battle Formation and fight together. Yang Ling and the Grand Wizard Houtu could also coordinate with them and provide support. If they did this, ordinary small Divine Branches’ Core Deities wouldn’t be a match for them; they might even be able to kill them with a single strike. They would also be able to quickly dispose of a Divine Branch’s Core Deity. In addition, they had the intimidating Magical Beast Army, as well as the Wizard God Religion’s missionaries, who would quell uprisings and appease people. They could also use other tactics. They would be able to easily conquer a small Divine Branch.

The invisible Magical Beast Divine Branch would show the people its sharp fangs!
