Chapter 657: Chapter 496: The Ancient Totem Beast and the Ba Snake Divine Beast
“Continue further.”
Xu Gu gathered his thoughts.
The Four Divine Sons, he had never taken them seriously, even though they had the support of divinity.
About ten minutes passed.
They had already reached the core area of the Creator’s Ark in the Outer World.
This region was permeated with an ancient aura, with ancient species of fierce beasts roaring, and even titanic creatures with stellar-like wings flapping as they soared.
This was an exceedingly dangerous place.
There were quite a few beasts exuding the aura of Upper Kings.
“Master, please be cautious.”
The leader of the Star Locust Clan spoke:
“Ahead lies a slumbering Totem King Bird.”
The Totem King Bird is one of the Totem Beasts.
Also an Ancient Species.
The Ancient Species are mainly divided into two lineages. One lineage is characterized by their massive size, roaming the starry skies, devouring the heavens.
The other lineage is the Totem Beasts.
The Golden Beast is a descendant of the Totem Beasts.
In ancient times, they were worshipped by weaker races, enjoying sacrifices while also providing protection to those fragile beings.
It is said that the strongest of the Totem Beasts could even possess three thousand Divine Countries!
Endowed with boundless majestic power.
“Totem Beast? Where?”
Sure enough, upon hearing the news of the Totem Beast, the Golden Beast immediately became restless.
He is a descendant of the Totem Beasts!
He is the Totem Holy Lizard.
But soon, the Golden Beast became visibly tense:
“So powerful! Master, this Totem Beast here seems to be of pure blood, I feel the pressure of the bloodline from it.”
At the same time, he added:
“It’s at least the presence of an Extreme King.”
For a moment, even he felt it was like a dream.
When did Extreme Kings become so abundant?
Not just him, Xu Gu’s other Car Servants also felt the same.
However, they also knew that Extreme Kings had not become more numerous, it was merely that their circle had changed; they were previously frogs in a well, naturally limited to see only a corner inside.
With Xu Gu’s relentless advance, they naturally got to witness a broader world.
“An Extreme King?”
Xu Gu’s expression remained indifferent.
Not surprised.
If the Creator’s Ark of the Maya Civilization was really that miraculous, then having only one Extreme King guarding it would actually seem inadequate.
After all, the Atlantis Civilization Testing Ground, named after the Maya Civilization’s Creator’s Ark, was guarded by a God!
The Sea God was the guardian of the Atlantis Civilization Testing Ground.
However, later the Sea God was exiled. His subordinates either fell or gravely wounded themselves in self-sealing.
This was how Xu Gu benefited.
Roar!
In the distance, a mountain suddenly trembled, rocks rolling down, igniting fearsome Divine Flames.
That was a massive bird, its entire body ablaze with purple Divine Light, towering tens of thousands of feet tall, even larger than the average giant beast.
Its oppressive power was incredibly astonishing.
Indeed, it was the Totem King Bird just mentioned by the Star Locust Clan.
“Scram!”
The Totem King Bird spat out Divine Flames, irritable in temperament, sharply scolding Xu Gu to leave.
This was also because it sensed a trace of threat from Xu Gu, otherwise, it would have taken action long ago to quell Xu Gu.
“Would you be willing to become my mount?”
Xu Gu spoke calmly.
“Swoosh!”
The face of the Earth Dragon Envoy turned instantly pale.
Oh no, he was about to be replaced.
“Piece of dung!”
But upon hearing Xu Gu’s words, the Totem King Bird was enraged to the extreme.
What a profound insult!
If this could be tolerated, then one could even swallow excrement!
Boom!
Its wings beat down, like stirring up thousands of Divine Thunders, bringing about a bloodbath and brutally suppressing everything beneath.
This assault was as heavy as the Milky Way.
Xu Gu remained unremarkable as he delivered a punch.
With one punch, heaven and earth trembled, and ripples spread through the space.
Holding the body with Supreme Authority, although not a giant beast, his physical form far surpassed any behemoth.
Bang!
A loud boom resounded.
The king bird’s thick wings exploded on impact, turning into blood foam that splattered across the sky.
“This…”
The Totem King Bird was completely dumbfounded, a flash of terror in its eyes – it had encountered someone formidable!
It quickly tried to dodge.
But Xu Gu was already holding the Battle Instrument, with sword light bursting forth, slashing towards its neck.
“My people, the time to offer your sacrifices has come!”
The Totem King Bird felt a chill on its neck, terror-struck to the extreme, and hurriedly defended by summoning a Divine Country behind it, where countless creatures knelt and prayed, performing a ritual.
The power of the sacrifices converged into golden feathers that floated in front of the Totem King Bird, forming spears and shields.
“Is this the power of sacrifice?”
Xu Gu found it somewhat interesting.
Not cultivating oneself, but instead raising a race, allowing this race to provide power through sacrifices.
Could he do the same?
After all, his Battle Space already harbored many top-tier races.
And these races, any single one of them taken out, could easily crush the citizens within the Totem King Bird’s Divine Country.
“It’s worth learning a thing or two.”
Xu Gu noted mentally.
Of course, if he wanted to learn, he definitely couldn’t from this king bird—it was too weak.
He should find a very orthodox Totem Beast with noble blood to learn from.
Meanwhile, Xu Gu’s movements did not slow down, as the Source of Creation flickered with Divine Light, drawing power from the surroundings and concentrating it on the blade of the Battle Instrument.
With one slash.
Crack!
The spears and shields formed by the power of sacrifice shattered instantly.
“Damn it!”
The Totem King Bird’s heart was nearly bursting, stricken with extreme horror.
It never dreamed that one day it would face such a formidable opponent.
“Ba Snake! What are you waiting for!”
The Totem King Bird spat blood, which was very special, possessing a unique fragrance; as soon as the blood appeared, it ignited into flames.
An exotic fragrance filled the air.
Boom!
The sound of thunder rumbled from afar, as if emanating from the core area, its sound overwhelming, its mere presence seeming to possess the mighty power to devour the heavens and earth.
“Ba Snake.” Xu Gu’s eyes flickered with surprise.
The Ba Snake, that was an extremely tyrannical race.
As well as very ancient.
Even older than Bimong!
It was a creature that could battle a True Dragon.
But now, the True Dragon was no longer present, and the Dragon Clan that continued were mixed-blood. They could still be considered to have survived.
Whereas the Ba Snake had vanished from the universe; everyone thought it extinct, but unexpectedly, it was encountered here.
“Rumor has it, mounting a Ba Snake grants mastery over the Dark Rules.”
Xu Gu’s mind stirred.
These rumors did not arise from nothing; since they had been passed down for so long, they were bound to be somewhat effective.
Of course, the Ba Snake before him was not of pure blood.
A pure-blood Ba Snake, upon reaching adulthood, was an entity capable of battling gods.
However, although it was not a pure-blood, this Ba Snake should not be underestimated – it possessed the strength of an Upper King of the Lower Star.
“The two of you teaming up, think you can match me now?”
Xu Gu watched as both the Ba Snake and Totem King Bird banded together, eyeing him with hostility and found it amusing:
“Since I dared to come, how could I be unprepared?
“Besides, you will be a good whetstone for polishing my realm and strength.”
His realm and strength were improving every second.
Sometimes, advancing too quickly in combat power isn’t necessarily good, because constant refinement is needed to adapt, and this process is obviously tedious and bothersome.
