Chapter 2269: Insufficient Realm, One Claw Corpse
In the memory scene, the Black Demon also revealed an incredulous look, asking dumbly, "Why, why?"
He was well aware that the Night Charm King was the one who least respected the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts, often opposing him.
Why help the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts?
The colorful light shadow emitted a crisp laugh once more: "I am about to enter reincarnation. I want to know whether the new generation of Master of Ten Thousand Beasts can suppress me after I complete my reincarnation. I also want to compete with the new generation of Beast Master for the position of Beast King of this world."
As the words fell, the colorful light shadow slowly disappeared, and the Night Charm King left.
The Black Demon sat cross-legged, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he murmured softly, "Really looking forward to it. Perhaps my Spiritual Shadow can persist until then, or maybe it won’t..."
After saying these words, the Black Demon closed his eyes.
However, the illusion in the memory did not stop because of the death of the Black Demon; his Spiritual Shadow continued to exist.
Then Sikong Jing saw the final memory scene, which was when the Black Demon’s Spiritual Shadow was about to completely dissipate...
"It’s been so long, I ultimately still have to completely disappear..."
"New generation of Master of Ten Thousand Beasts, when will you appear?"
"Sigh, I cannot tell you everything myself. I can only leave behind a Memory Illusion Realm."
As these words fell, the Black Demon’s Spiritual Shadow, which had lasted for so long, completely disappeared, failing to await the new generation of Master of Ten Thousand Beasts, departing with regret.
Bang...
Finally, the Memory Illusion Realm completely vanished before Sikong Jing, his vision returning to the corpse of the Black Demon, his gaze frozen in shock, still kneeling in silence for a long while.
Bang bang bang...
Eventually, Sikong Jing heavily kowtowed three times to the Black Demon before slowly standing up.
He spoke deeply: "Black Demon Senior, I have appeared."
The voice echoed continuously in the grand hall, but naturally, the Black Demon’s corpse had no reaction. Then Sikong Jing’s human-shaped Spirit Shadow quietly stepped into the Ten Thousand Beasts Sky Prison, relaying all the Memory Illusion Realm he had previously seen to the Fierce Beast Divine Beasts.
Clearly, they were unaware of the Night Charm King’s theft of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sky Prison.
Whether it was the deeds of the Black Demon or the appearance of the Night Charm, both rendered the Fierce Beast Divine Beasts silent.
Previously, the Absolute Night Wolf King had speculated whether the traitor Six-clawed Evil Heart Beast was their undercover agent, never considering it was the doing of the Night Charm King, not even slightly associated with it in thought.
Before Sikong Jing’s appearance, they didn’t even know of the Black Demon’s existence.
All they knew was a voice constantly telling them to patiently await the emergence of the new Master of Ten Thousand Beasts.
"Old Turtle, was there any story between the previous generation Master of Ten Thousand Beasts and the Night Charm King?" inquired the Golden Divine Dragon.
The Divine Turtle grew up alongside the previous generation Master of Ten Thousand Beasts, being the most familiar with his situation.
Yet the Divine Turtle’s response was...
"No story whatsoever, as you all saw, the Night Charm King simply disdained not being the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts herself, even considering herself stronger than the previous generation Master of Ten Thousand Beasts."
The beasts, upon hearing this, fell silent once again...
The Black Prison Devouring Sky Tiger spoke lowly: "Truly strong, otherwise how could she have stolen the Ten Thousand Beasts Sky Prison right under the noses of the Five Heavenly Emperors?"
At these words, the beasts twitched their mouths, acknowledging they were indeed saved by the Night Charm King.
The Feiyun Butterfly gently floated out, her melodious voice slowly emerging...
"Actually, I know a bit about the Night Charm King."
"She was never resigned to why the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts was such from birth—why couldn’t it have been her?"
"Perhaps her reincarnation was meant to break this rule of destiny, to become stronger and compete once again for the position of Master of Ten Thousand Beasts, to challenge the new generation of Beast Master, this was her will and true intention."
The beasts looked at each other, suddenly bursting into laughter—hahaha!
The Golden Divine Dragon laughed heartily: "Actually, this is quite good, giving us two options for Master of Ten Thousand Beasts."
"Master of Ten Thousand Beasts, if you lose, don’t blame us for submitting to the Night Charm King instead."
Upon hearing this, the beasts couldn’t help but laugh, not from lack of affection for Sikong Jing, but to tease him a bit.
Yet it remained a reality, if Sikong Jing truly couldn’t cut it, the Night Charm King might indeed become their choice.
At the very least, all demon beasts had a second source of hope...
Regarding this, Sikong Jing felt no displeasure, also laughing as he said: "Indeed, it’s stimulating; such a challenge is interesting... After reincarnating for so many years, where could the Night Charm King be?"
"When will she awaken?"
This question, of course, was not something the Fierce Beast Divine Beasts could answer.
As for the topic of the Night Charm King, it ended here...
Sikong Jing’s heart opened up because of this; he spoke again, "The instinct of the previous generation Master of Ten Thousand Beasts chose me, it seems my Double Emperor Veins are stronger than imagined, and my father and mother were more incredible than I thought."
After waiting for so many ten thousand years, the instinct of the previous generation Master of Ten Thousand Beasts chose: the one whose Dantian was shattered and meridians completely broken at the time.
It was only now that Sikong Jing understood...
The reason the Su Family Pig Farm had the legacy of the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts wasn’t due to the Blood Pearl being buried there, but because the instinct of the previous generation Master of Ten Thousand Beasts found him at that time.
Taking a deep breath, Sikong Jing’s human-shaped Spirit Shadow left the Ten Thousand Beasts Sky Prison.
Facing the corpse of the Black Demon once again, he solemnly said: "Next, I will gradually grow step by step, Black Demon Senior, for now, I’ll first check the heart of your Desert Sea Absolute Array."
Speaking thusly, Sikong Jing walked towards the rear of the grand hall, arriving at where the heart of the array was located.
The pitch-black pillar in the Memory Illusion Realm was still turning restlessly, still a damaged black pillar, but in front of the pillar, a few lines of words remained, of course, left by the Black Demon...
"New generation Master of Ten Thousand Beasts, the Desert Sea Absolute Array must not be easily repaired thoroughly, lest it attract the attention of the Five Heavenly Emperors."
The first line, Sikong Jing naturally understood, this was what the Night Charm King had told the Black Demon in the Memory Illusion Realm.
"To gain initial control of the Desert Sea Absolute Array, even if it’s severely damaged, one must reach the third Great Realm of the Divine Martial Stage."
The second line caused Sikong Jing’s mouth to twitch slightly, though he could certainly understand this...
After all, mastering such a terrifying formation is absolutely impossible without reaching beyond the Divine Martial Stage.
Therefore, even though Sikong Jing came into contact with the heart of the array now, he could only see, not touch.
In other words, even as the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts, Sikong Jing, arriving here, could only uncover various ancient secrets; otherwise, he seemed no different from an ordinary demon.
Continuing to look further...
The subsequent few lines listed the materials required to repair the Desert Sea Absolute Array...
Though this might attract the attention of the Five Heavenly Emperors, the Black Demon still left the method of repair, which could serve as a primary base for the new generation Master of Ten Thousand Beasts, requiring Sikong Jing to also reach a very strong realm first.
The final line: "The One Claw Corpse Bone of the previous generation Master of Ten Thousand Beasts resides in the innermost room, please preserve it well."
Upon reading this instruction, there was a sudden flash in Sikong Jing’s eyes.
Last time at Willow Leaf Saint Manor, a small bone of the previous generation Master of Ten Thousand Beasts had allowed him to uncover and comprehend part of his powerful meridians, possessing a terrifying Fist Skill; what power might the One Claw Corpse Bone bring him?
Without any hesitation, Sikong Jing turned and entered the innermost room of the Dark Palace, where he saw the One Claw Corpse Bone.
The next moment... Boom!
As Sikong Jing enveloped it with his mind, the incomparably complex meridians of the One Claw Corpse Bone gradually revealed themselves.
