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

The Golden Roc spread its wings and flew over a thousand miles!

The crowd rode the swift Golden Roc toward the distant Far West Land. Their current speed was higher than the Twin-legged Flying Dragons by far, and they crossed many high mountains among the clouds, boundless forests, and desolate barren lands.

The Golden Roc was very swift, and at full speed, it had a great imposing manner. It also emitted a Wandering Divine Beast’s natural supreme wave of pressure. It was flying at an altitude of 10,000 meters, and its aura was very feeble. It could deceive ordinary people, but it couldn’t deceive the senses of peerless powerhouses. On the way, they did frequently attracted the attention of some great factions or powerhouses practicing in seclusion. Fortunately, the Golden Roc’s speed was outstanding, and it was still as fast as lightning even though it hadn’t recovered to its peak state. It could usually disappear on the horizon before those experts could even get up into the air, so they got through this daunting experience without any incidents.

As the Golden Roc advanced, it spread its great Divine Consciousness. It quickly discovered a group of angels traveling in front of them. “Lord, there is a group of Twelve-Winged Angels a hundred miles ahead of us, why don’t we…”

The group of angels numbered only a hundred. They had both men and women among them, and their speed wasn’t much higher than Twin-legged Flying Dragons. Some of them were even drenched in blood and travel-worn. It seemed like they were a small team of angels that operated alone.

On their journey, the crowd had come across many hidden powerhouses, as well as many travel-worn angels. If they ran into an Angel Battle Team with many members, Yang Ling would order the Golden Roc to make a long detour around them. But if they ran into a single small team of angels, they would slaughter them without the least bit of hesitation, and then they would absorb their souls, as well as seize their memory. Unfortunately, according to the angels’ memory, the City Amongst the Clouds had simply ordered them to assemble in the Far West Land without any explanation of what had happened.

“Hehe, Lord. Let me deal with this; I won’t spare anyone.” The Corpse Wizard King loudly requested permission to fight. On the way, Yang Ling had absorbed many angels’ souls and the Corpse Wizard King had also earned many benefits. This was why he requested permission to fight.

“That’s right. Lord, let’s fight.” The Scorpion King Emmett had high fighting spirits and was full of mettle. He followed the Corpse Wizard King in standing up.

After Emmett advanced to the God-Level and the Magical Divine Ring was bestowed upon him by Yang Ling, his training speed skyrocketed, and his Cloning Wizard Spell reached perfection. His power wasn’t the highest among the group, but his development was one of the fastest. His body was formed of a thousand little scorpions, and every scorpion possessed power at the peak of the Domain-Level. Some even had a Low-Level Deity’s power.

Everyone requested permission to fight. They had great power and a good understanding of the Demon God Battle Formation, so they weren’t afraid even of an Angel Battle Team with 1000 members, let alone an Angel Battle Team with just 100 members.

The military glory of the Magical Beast Divine Branch and stories of Yang Ling and his brilliant generals would spread far and wide in the future. After a long period of practice, and many bloody battles, those generals had started revealing their fierce claws and teeth to the people.

“Fine, Mertesacker; let’s detour around them quietly. We will wait for those angels in the front.” Yang Ling released his great Divine Consciousness and ascertained that there wasn’t any ambush or other unexpected matter to worry about. After he had done so, he issued orders decisively, commanding the Golden Roc to detour around the angels at a high altitude. They hid among dense black clouds and waited calmly for the angels’ arrival.

“Mr. Maja, why did the chief commander summon us to the Far West Land so urgently? What happened? Could it be that they had already discovered the Mother Nest’s definite location?” A female angel spoke and flapped her snow-white wings. She sped up to pursue the angel leader at the front.

“That’s probably it. If this wasn’t a major matter, the chief commander wouldn’t have used the Angel Command and quickly summoned all angel teams to dispatch them here.” The angel leader Maja raised his head to look at the boundless horizon and sighed inwardly.

The road to the Far West Land was very long, and their group had got into an intense battle against a few Titans several days before. They’d sustained injuries, and their speed had dropped greatly. Maja didn’t know when they would get to the distant Far West Land at this rate.

The Chaos Dimension was really very large!

The angels flew near the ground to save energy, either chatting and joking around or focusing on hurrying along. They were unaware that a disaster was going to befall them. The ordinary angels didn’t notice anything, and even Maja, the strongest and most experienced angel leader, didn’t notice that a group of bloodthirsty and berserk slaughter gods was hidden among the thick black clouds.

Huh?

After the angel leader crossed a high mountain, he cried out in surprise when he discovered that a strange youngster blocked their path. This youth’s body was pitch-black, and many symbols covered his long robe. He also had blade-like sharp eyes that seemed able to see through everything in the world. The long robe undulated as though wiggling worms were hidden beneath it.

This was very strange. They couldn’t even express how strange it was.

“Sirs, I’m Emmett, and I have to send you to the underworld.” The Scorpion King Emmett sneered coldly and let out a shout. Then, his mouth opened up and an even stranger sight appeared.

Buzz!

Countless winged mutant scorpions poured out of the Scorpion King’s mouth. They looked like a dense mass of compressed ants, and they formed many separate clouds of scorpions after they burst out. They covered a large expanse of the sky and land.

An Innate Magical Ability?

The angel leader Maja shivered and ordered the other angels to get into formation. He was very swift, but unfortunately, he was too late, and the terrifying mutant scorpions swarmed the angels. They tore at the angels violently, and some of them even drilled into the angels’ wounds. The angels couldn’t exterminate the scorpions no matter how many they killed. Every time they killed any, a larger group would instantly swarm them.

“Hehehe, Emmett. This move is pretty good. The lord didn’t give you all that Life Spring’s water, Godheads, and Black Crystals in vain.” The Corpse Wizard King laughed loudly and suddenly descended from a high altitude. He cast the Death Ripples, attacking the angels’ souls directly.

“Dragon Domain, kill them!”

The Dark Dragon King didn’t want to be outdone by anyone. He folded his wings before roaring and diving down toward the angels. He released his Dragon Domain and enveloped the angels. He greatly weakened the targets’ power and speed, then charged toward them to carry out a bloody close-quarters fight. He struck one angel directly with his paw and turned him into mincemeat.

“It’s awful! There is an ambush, retreat, retreat quickly!” The pupils of the angel leader Maja contracted, and he released holy light with his hand. He crushed dozens of scorpions and withdrew swiftly with the crowd. But many ferocious God-Level Horned Dragons and Dark Dragons appeared behind him, and the angels were trapped.

Swoosh!

A black arrow streaked through the air and struck the angel leader. The angel leader couldn’t react in time, and the arrow pierced his skull, just between his brows. The arrow came out of the back of his head and exposed a large part of his brain. This arrow shaft had been crafted with Pure Sand Gold and Black Crystal.

The Shadow Wizard Winnink was in charge of hiding and carrying out assassinations. He’d launched a deadly strike. He’d caught the angel leader off-guard, and he’d killed him with a single arrow.

The team had lost their leader, and the injured angels weren’t a match for Yang Ling’s team any longer. They were instantly wiped out, and not one managed to escape. The Corpse Wizard King and his companions completed a typical and perfect surprise attack, and Yang Ling and the Golden Roc didn’t even have to fight.

After Yang Ling refined the angel leader Maja’s soul and took his memory, he muttered to himself for a moment before he led the crowd to continue the journey. “It’s another group that followed an angel’s order and rushed to the Far West Land. Could it be that the City Amongst the Clouds has really found the Mother Nest ahead of the others?”

Swoosh!

The Golden Roc swiftly disappeared on the horizon with a few flaps of its wings. When the hidden practitioners and wanderers in the vicinity got news of this affair and rushed to the battlefield, they couldn’t find any useful clues, and they couldn’t find any tracks other than some bloodstains sprinkled on the ground.

Later, Yang Ling’s team kept coming across experts traveling to the west. Some of them were alone, some had large groups, even angel teams. If they came across a group with a large number of members or a peerless powerhouse with unfathomable power, the group would swiftly detour around them. But, if they came across travelers that they could deal with, they would attack them without the least bit of hesitation, then get rid of the bodies and destroy the evidence. In this way, the group gradually gathered comprehensive intelligence and put together a rough understanding of the current situation.

It turned out that the great factions had already discovered the Mother Nest in the Far West Land. They were fighting bitterly against each other to capture the Mother Nest and take it for themselves. The King of Darkness, the City Amongst the Clouds, the Power King and other great factions had all called for reinforcements at the highest speed possible. At this news, some great clans and small Divine Branches had also headed off to the Far West Land to try their luck. If they got the Mother Nest, their power would be increased greatly. Even some hidden peerless powerhouses that had trained for innumerable years couldn’t resist the Mother Nest’s allure, and they rushed out one after the other.

There were dark clouds on the horizon, and hidden troubles lay ahead!

After Yang Ling understood what was happening, he didn’t want to fight any longer, so he focused on hurrying the group along to avoid any unforeseen accidents. The golden Roc was endowed with high speed, and they managed to reach the Far West Land in 2 months.

The mountains stretched for ten thousand miles, and many high peaks poked through the clouds in front of them. Those mountains formed imposing mountain ranges, and those mountain ranges that stretched for myriad miles were connected, forming a colossal mountain system.

In fact, there were a hundred thousand great mountains, with a single real great peak.

On Earth, Yang Ling had worked part-time while he studied, and he’d used the money to travel across most of China. He visited the Tianshan Mountain Range, which had many mountains, and the highest peak in the world, Mt. Everest. But, at this moment, he witnessed the imposing mountain range of the Far West Land and he finally felt he’d seen a truly great mountain.

Even the highest mountain couldn’t block their path, and even if the road was long, it couldn’t stump the swift Golden Roc. In several days, Yang Ling’s team easily reached the Starry Sky Castle, the sole Wandering Castle in the Far West Land.
