Chapter 734: Ancient Divine Branch

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Did he advance into the Core Deity Stage in one go?

The crowd looked in surprise at the Nine Dragon Divine Ring around the Corpse Wizard King’s finger and looked at the lifelike nine skeleton heads on it. Even Yang Ling was surprised by this and he didn’t expect this. The Corpse Wizard King didn’t just escape calamity, he still advanced past the greatest threshold in a God-level Expert’s life.

His body was strengthened greatly, and his soul got an unimaginable transformation.

Yang Ling quickly discovered the Corpse Wizard King’s pleasant changes through his large Divine Consciousness. The Corpse Wizard King’s strong muscles contained a large amount of energy and explosive power. It was unknown whether the reason behind those changes was the fusion with the Ancient Dragon Soul’s Soul Energy or the absorption of the Dead Soul Dimension’s Energy Source. The amount of the Corpse Wizard King’s Soul Energy increased by many folds and it wasn’t any lower than the golden roc and Mother Empress. It was even higher by a tad.

Once a man achieved success, his cronies would also benefit!

The Corpse Wizard King advanced past several levels in a row and even the Horned Soul Snake coiled around his left hand benefited from this greatly. The Horned Soul Snake’s size didn’t change, but its whole body shone with black light, and if it waved its tail lightly, it would be to easily create many fine sizzling spatial fissures in the air.

Swoosh!

Many wisps of energy, which resembled the Great Wizard’s Faith Power, gathered from far and wide, and they flowed into the Corpse Wizard King’s body. The unusual Magical Divine Ring let a buzzing noise and it absorbed ravenously this unusual Wish Power. Yang Ling was surprised to discover that his body also started absorbing the unusual Faith Power in the air and his absorption speed was even higher than the Corpse Wizard King. The amount of his Soul Energy increased drastically, and he felt an intense chill. He felt like he absorbed a gas formed by a 10,000 years old glacier.

What was the matter?

Could it be that after the Corpse Wizard King became a Core Deity, he inadvertently created a Divine Branch affiliated to the Magical Beast Divine Branch?

After Yang Ling detected the changes of his body and detected the unusual Wish Power’s ripples in the air, he got an idea about this. He still didn’t know clearly what happened, but he could ascertain that the Soul Imprint in the depths of the Corpse Wizard King’s mind still didn’t disappear. It didn’t just stay there, it still turned more deep and distinct. After Yang Ling released a large amount of Mental Energy and observed the vicinity, he discovered quickly that a little skeleton head appeared beneath the Wizard Pagoda carved on his ring.

“Ah… Who am I?”

After a long while, the Corpse Wizard King that absorbed a large amount of unusual Faith Power finally opened his eyes. He was in front of the crowd’s gazes and his perplexed eyes looked in confusion at the crowd. It seemed like he lost his former memory, but he also seemed like a person who slept for a myriad of years who couldn’t instantly recall past events.

“Rodriguez, are you all right? I’m Ophilia, I’m Ophilia…” The Blood Angel Ophilia took a sudden big strike forward and looked at the bewildered Corpse Wizard King. Tears streaked across her face. At that crucial juncture, if the Corpse Wizard King didn’t stand in front of her recklessly, she would have probably died or turned into a puppet controlled by the Ancient Dragon Soul, Desmond.

“Rodriguez, Rodriguez…”

…

Ophilia’s cheeks were streaming with tears, while the eyes of the Dark Dragon King, Giant Ape King, and others were bloodshot. They had always quarreled with the Corpse Wizard King and they called him an old lecher or old pervert, but they all recognized inwardly the Corpse Wizard King. The Corpse Wizard King was a senior figure that went on campaigns with Yang Ling and he deserved to become the Magical Beast Chief Commander. In the crowd’s heart, he wasn’t any different than a close relative. He didn’t just make great military contributions, he still provided great help and support to the crowd in their lives, training, and other aspects.

“Ophilia, Seylius… Lord!” After the Corpse Wizard King subconsciously shook his head strongly, he sobered up slowly and he called out the name of Ophilia, Dark Dragon King, and other people. Soon after, he knelt in front of Yang Ling and prostrated respectfully.

He was clearly aware that his soul would have been extinguished long ago if Yang Ling didn’t use the Soul Imprint in his mind to protect him at that crucial juncture, and he would also have been doomed if Yang Ling didn’t risk his life to save him. He was a Corpse Wizard with great achievements in practice and he was clearly aware more than others about the dangers of Yang Ling’s intense battle against the Ancient Dragon Soul.

“It’s fine as long as you are all right. Rodriguez, stand up” Yang Ling spoke and supported up the Corpse Wizard King, whose eyes were bloodshot. He took a bottle of Iced Rum from his spatial ring and instructed the Corpse Wizard King to drink it to sober up. He waited for the Corpse Wizard King to rest for a while before he asked him to recount what happened.

“Lord, I have gotten inadvertently the Nether King’s inheritance sealed within the Death Horn and I managed to advance in one go past the Divine Duty Expert Stage.” The Corpse Wizard King excitedly held the shining Death Horn, which released many abstruse Energy Ripples. He paused for a moment before he recounted this slowly.

It turned out that after the Nether King, who controlled the Dead Soul Dimension, was heavily injured by the supreme Creator, he didn’t die on the spot. Instead, he escaped into spatial turbulence. He drew help from a destructive Ion Storm to escape from the Creator who hunted him down. But, it was a pity that his injuries were very grave and it was impossible to turn the situation around. At the death door, he left behind his inheritance in the Death Horn and sealed it. He hoped that one day someone would get his inheritance and take revenge for him.

Yang Ling’s Soul Imprint faced the Ancient Dragon Soul’s crazy Soul Attacks, and it was on the verge of collapse. But, Heaven never barred one’s way. The Ancient Dragon Soul’s devastating Soul Attacks almost broke Yang Ling’s defenses, but they brought upon Desmond a deadly disaster. The Ancient Dragon Soul inadvertently broke the seal left behind by the Nether King.

The Corpse Wizard King had already dripped his blood upon the Death Horn and it recognized him as its master. This was why the Death Horn attacked the Ancient Dragon Soul, Desmond, and devoured its soul energy. The Corpse Wizard King, whose soul was almost extinguished, got inadvertently the Nether King’s inheritance and he also went through the baptism of the Dead Soul Dimension’s Source Energy. He became the new Nether King.

The Dead Soul Dimension was the final home of all living beings’ souls, and the Nether King that controlled the Dead Soul Dimension was the god worshiped by all Undead Beings and dead souls. The Corpse Wizard King could absorb the Faith Power released by Undead Beings involuntarily or voluntarily, and this was why even though he just got the Nether King’s inheritance and still didn’t digest and comprehend many laws’ mysteries, he could already absorb the Faith Power in the air.

Dead Soul Divine Branch was a Child Divine Branch affiliated to the Magical Beast Divine Branch. It was really like so!

After Yang Ling understood what happened, he suddenly saw the light. Everything was within his previous expectations. The Corpse Wizard King was tamed by Yang Ling and he had his Soul Imprint. This was why the Dead Soul Divine Branch unexpectedly got a subtle connection to the Magical Beast Divine Branch. The Dark Dragon King, Giant Ape King and other people that wore the Magical Divine Rings weren’t able to absorb the Faith Power released by Undead Beings, but Yang Ling was the Corpse Wizard King’s master and this was why he could absorb it. He could even absorb it at a higher speed than the Corpse Wizard King.

An Ancient Divine Branch!

Yang Ling learned about the powerful and peerless Ancient Divine Branches in the legends from Algernon Core Deity’s memory. This was a Divine Branch formed by many independent and connected Child Divine Branches. At first, he assumed that this was just an imaginary legend and he didn’t expect that it would emerge in front of his eyes.

If he seized other Divine Branches’ territory, believers, and other resources, as well as helped the Dark Dragon King, Ophilia and other people become Core Deities, then wouldn’t he be able to form the Ancient Divine Branch in the legends? Wouldn’t he be able to absorb intense Faith Power at any moment?

After Yang Ling detected the Faith Power emitted by the Undead Beings in the air, he looked at the Corpse Wizard King, whose power rose drastically. He was very excited and he finally saw a shortcut for advancing past the Wizard God Stage and becoming a real Skyreach Wizard Venerable.

Now, he was just a low-level Wizard God, yet he could still deal with ordinary Core Deities and Dimensional Wanderers. Once he practiced until he became a mid-level Wizard God, then he would be able to deal with ordinary adjudicators. If an unforeseen matter didn’t occur, then he would be able to deal with the Heavenly Nun, Demon Monarch, and other apex peerless powerhouses once he practiced to the high-level Wizard God Stage. If he achieved another advancement and reached the apex of the Wizard God Stage, then even if he wasn’t a match for the Creator, he would still be able to fight against him, and as long as he practiced until he became Skyreach Wizard God, which was a being superior to the 12 Grand Wizards, then even a supreme Creator would be unable to obstruct his operations. At least, this was what Yang Ling believed.

“Rodriguez, you should look whether there is still good stuff in the Poison Dragon Valley. You should seize the time to clean the battlefield.” After Yang Ling, who was filled with hope and expectation for the future, took a deep breath, he managed to calm down quickly. He issued orders in a deep voice and he ordered the crowd to quickly clean the battlefield once again. The Poison Dragon Clan occupied the valley for so many years and many treasures were surely piled up here.

Sure enough! Even though they collected many treasures in the first cleanup of the battlefield, the crowd still found a lot of good stuff in the second careful search. They found Poison Dragons’ Godheads that contained a large amount of energy, many precious Premium Crystals… They even found many top-notch Divine Weapons. For the past years, many experts intruded into the Poison Dragon Valley and died in it. All of the treasures left behind by those experts became the spoils of war of the crowd.

Swoosh!

After Yang Ling ascertained that they didn’t overlook any valuable treasure, he went back fully loaded with the crowd. They rode the swift golden roc and went back to the distant Giant Dragon Mountain Range. In the Poison Dragon Valley’s battle, they didn’t just get a large number of treasures, they still finished subduing all small Divine Branches around the Giant Dragon Mountain Range. They got a large territory, a large population, and other resources. Later, as long as the Wizard God Religion’s Pope Goode worked hard, it wouldn’t be difficult for them to get a large number of the Great Wizard’s followers in a short time. They would get an ample supply of Faith Power!

After Yang Ling went back to the Giant Dragon Mountain Range, he set up layers of Restriction Spells in the highest mountain, Heavenly Pillar Mountain, and he put the Great Wizard Altar atop the mountain’s peak. He also dispatched people to get in contact with the Starry Sky Castle Lord, Cameron, so that they could maintain a close relationship with the Wanderer Alliance. He also seized the time to practice and he hoped to achieve greater advancement in a short time.

In the battle against the Ancient Dragon Soul, Desmond., he noticed his own weakness. He had pretty good control over souls, but he didn’t have an adequate amount of Soul Energy and his soul attacks weren’t sharp enough. It wasn’t an issue for him to deal with ordinary Core Deities or Dimensional Wanderers. But, if he ran into a peerless powerhouse at the level of an adjudicator, his situation would be far from good.

Revenge is a dish best served cold!

The City Amongst the Clouds’ Lord was already very powerful, and he was still supported greatly by an adjudicator called the Blade Emperor. If he attacked the City Amongst the Clouds rashly, he wouldn’t just fail to kill the City Amongst the Clouds’ Lord, he might even die and his whole army would be wiped out. Yang Ling decided to carry out another session of secluded training and would do so to make preparations for exploring the Order Dimension’s Skyreach Tower and carry out carnage in the Order Dimension’s City Amongst the Clouds. He hoped to greatly increase the amount of his Soul Energy in several years and he hoped to achieve another advancement.
