Chapter 242: Healing the Beast King

Deep within the underground magma world, Logan and his companions are walking along, they see a demon beast, tens of meters tall, bathing in the magma. The beast is covered with blood-colored scales, and its claws are as large as meteorites.

The Half-step Sacred Throne Demonic Beast introduces the group, “This is the Beast King, the undisputed king of the entire Demon Beast Mountain Range. A hundred years ago, it battled with a human Saint and suffered severe injuries, since then, it has been recuperating here.”

“Originally, it needed only ten more years, and the Beast King would have fully recovered. However, recently, ten thousand cultivators have entered the mountain range, slaughtering the demon beasts rampantly. The Beast King became aware of this and grew enraged, causing its injuries to worsen. And now, the Saint has made a surprise attack, causing the Beast King to fall into a deep sleep once again. The future of the mountain range is uncertain.”

Upon hearing these words, Logan smiled faintly, understanding everything. The “Saint” the others were talking about must be the Heavenly Saint Taoist. He, along with ten thousand others, are merely his pawns. The affair of accepting closed-door disciples was a complete sham. He had secretly planned such a grand scheme only to eradicate the Beast King.

“When demon beasts duel with human practitioners, it’s a part of cultivation, a trial. We, on the part of the demon beasts, naturally don’t have much to say. However, your mass slaughter has disrupted the ecosystem. That is why I’ve led millions of demon beasts to attack, to seek justice for the demon beasts,” says the Half-step Sacred Throne Demonic Beast.

The eyes of the Half-step Sacred Throne Demonic Beast shone brightly as it looked at the people and said, “I’m guessing that the Saint will definitely return. But now, the Beast King is asleep. The most powerful combat power of the entire demon beast clan is me. I can resist, but after all, I am only a half-step Saint. Once I fail to resist, the Beast King will be decapitated by the enemy.”

“Once the Beast King is gone, the three million demon beasts in the entire mountain range will run wild, causing disaster in neighboring territories. It will lead to mass carnage and may even involve the demon beast clans thousands of miles away. It may even provoke those Saints who have secluded themselves from the world to appear, and the whole Ancient World will be drawn into a war.”

Logan examined the Beast King and truly saw that it was severely injured. It was originally at the Saint level, but now it’s only equivalent to a normal king. This might be due to bathing in the spiritually rich lava. If it ever leaves the lava, it might be swallowed by the Heavenly and Earthly Laws the next moment.

“I can give it a try, maybe we can save the Beast King.” This suddenly reminded Logan of the Law herbs from when he was in the Illusionary Realm. He had received dozens of Law Spirit Grass, which he used at the time to refine Law Dan Medicine, though he still kept a few stems in case of any emergency. They would surely come in handy at this time.

Law herbs are king of medicines and are rare even amongst Saints. Besides increasing a cultivator’s cultivation level, they have another effect which is to heal. As the Beast King is already a Saint, its wound was caused by Laws, so Logan wasn’t sure if the healing would work, but there is a 50% chance of success.

One of the Half-step Sacred Throne Demon Beasts heard this and became excited: “Really? Then, I swear I will do everything I can. Anything in the entire mountain range, any treasure you lay your eyes on, take it all away. We, the demon beast clan, will owe you a huge favor. And as long as you come, you are the honored guest of our demon beast clan.”

“I can’t guarantee it,” Logan waved his hand and said, “I only have one small request. If the Beast King is saved, it cannot hold grudges and seek out revenge later. Furthermore, it cannot blame everything on the human race. This is a grievance between the Saint and the Beast King, it has nothing to do with the entire human race.”

“Of course. If we, the demon beasts, really wanted to involve the human race, we wouldn’t have stayed in the mountains for a hundred years. Because it is clear, that Saint wanted the treasures of the demon beasts to seek a glimmer of opportunity for himself”

The Half-step Sacred Throne Demonic Beast made a statement, but regretted it as soon as he said it. He had just mentioned the treasure of the demon beasts. Although Logan heard it, he didn’t question it further. Even if he asked, the other party wouldn’t tell him.

Logan took out a Law herb and infused it with magic. The herb instantly emitted a golden light, illuminating the Beast King, and causing the entire underground world to shake in an instant, affecting the mountain range above, bringing about a storm.

Under the treatment of the Law herb, the wounds of the Beast King were steadily healing. The Half-step Sacred Throne Demonic Beast cried tears of joy. He had been worried these days, and was relieved to see Logan could actually save the Beast King. Perhaps it was retribution, that he decided to retreat on that day.

If they hadn’t retreated, even if Logan’s array was strong, the million demon beasts would have certainly broken through. Logan and the others would certainly have been devoured. But then, there would be no one who could cure the Beast King’s injury.

Logan of sharp sight, solemnly said: “To heal the Beast King’s injury, it will take at least an hour. And everything that happens here will certainly be inferred by others. The Heavenly Saint Taoist will never allow the Beast King to be healed, so he will do everything to prevent it. A great war is probably about to break out.”

“An hour, I can hold on for that long.” The Half-step Sacred Throne Demonic Beast slowly said, word by word. For the future of the entire mountain range, for the Beast King to be able to retake control of the situation, it was ready to give everything it had, even if it faced the dispersal of its soul. As long as the Beast King could be healed, its own sacrifice would be worth it.

Then, the Half-Step Saint-level Monster used a spell to rise to the surface, and with a fierce roar, summoned all the monsters in the mountain range, insisting that no one goes down to interrupt the recovery of the Beast King. Within a moment, a mass of demon beasts moved towards this place.

Shangguan Bowe yawned and said to Logan: “One person standing guard is enough, Buck Yun and I will go up, join the excitement, and see what happens if the Heavenly Saint Taoist arrives. What the fight between Saints looks like…it’s something a cultivator won’t encounter in his entire life. So, observing such a battle would surely be of great benefit.”

Logan was speechless but waved his hand, letting them go together. Ba Ke Yun would naturally want to stay and guard, but Logan told him to go and watch, which might be the opportunity for him to break through from King to Dominator. As long as they could stop the Heavenly Saint Taoist above, he would be safe here.

Magically, the three thousand people who had come with Logan to seize opportunities, were all stunned. How did the place fill up with millions of demon beasts again in an instant? Everyone was too scared to move forward. Yet they were curious about what was happening in front. The demon beasts’ strengths wouldn’t increase during the day. Could it be an actual opportunity?

Thunderclouds rumbled above the Nine Heavens, and an elder stepped on a dark cloud, approaching them. With a casual blow, countless demon beasts were killed, and then with another step, a deep pit several hundred meters deep was created. This was the terror of a Saint level powerhouse — a single thought that could cause immediate death for miles around, and looking forwards with admiration.

The Half-step Sacred Throne Demonic Beast was not to be outdone, and roared as it rushed into the sky. This also caused a great force. The thunder clouds in the sky disappeared at this moment, and the roar of the demon beast seemed to shatter everything. However, the elder did not step back and faced the pressure step by step, finally standing in front of the demon beast.

“Move aside, you’re just Half a step away from Saint. Do you dare to act so arrogantly in front of me? Do you believe that I can disperse your soul with a single palm?”
