“You want me to defeat a Heavenly Champion sky-pride?” the face in the blood pool asked curiously.

“Yes.”

“Why? Can’t the Crown Prince do it?”

“He has been killed,” said the Golden Crow King gruffly.

“Oh?”

The face in the pool was slightly stunned before he started showing interest in the topic. “The Crown Prince is quite gifted, almost monstrous to be precise, yet he died because of this sky-pride? I’m intrigued. Is the target a monstrous one too?”

“He’s definitely a monster!”

The Golden Crow King took a deep breath.

No matter how much he resented Chu Kuangren, he could not deny the fact that Chu Kuangren was extremely talented.

“Interesting. It’s not a problem if you want me to avenge the Crown Prince, but I need a body. You know what to do.”

“A hundred Golden Crow sky-prides’ bodies!” said the Golden Crow King with a hint of frenzy in his eyes.

The Golden Crow Blood Pool was formed using a single drop of blood essence from the Golden Crow Forefather.

Through countless years of evolution, the blood pool developed a complete intellect system and even possessed a part of the forefather’s inheritance. Unfortunately, its intellect was without a body.

In order to grant the blood pool a physical body, a hundred bodies of the Golden Crow sky-prides must be sacrificed.

A hundred sky-prides were almost all the younger generation Golden Crows. However, for the sake of vengeance, to win in the battle of Heavenly Champion, and become ruler of the Immortal World, the Golden Crow King had no other options left.

“Without the Crown Prince, no matter how great the other sky-prides are, it would be difficult to rival Chu Kuangren.

“We, Golden Crow Tribe, needed a monstrous-level sky-pride, and for that, sacrificing a hundred sky-prides is the only way.”

The Golden Crow King clenched his fists tightly as a hint of frenzy flashed in his terrifying eyes.

When the blood pool spirit saw the expression on the king, his excitement was fueled.

It had been many, many years since he had a body, and finally, that would come to an end.

‘Now it seems like I need to thank that unknown sky-pride for this chance. To push the king to take this drastic step, I’m looking forward to meeting you, mysterious sky-pride,’ thought the blood pool spirit.

“I will deliver the bodies to you soon, but before that, I need to do something.”

“Something?”

“Before we defeat Chu Kuangren and destroy his pride, I need to collect some interest.”

“Oh? So the mysterious sky-pride is called Chu Kuangren. I’ll remember the name. As for the interest, what are you referring to?”

“The fact that Chu Kuangren could enter the Ancient Heavenly Yokai Cave must involve the Emerald Hill and Tushan. In that case, I have to deal with the two of them first.”

“Emerald Hill and Tushan are two of the greatest holy lands for the Fox Tribes. Are you sure the Golden Crow Heavenly Mountain can deal with them alone?”

“Hah! We are not alone. The nemesis of Emerald Hill and Tushan, the Dark Fox Tribe, can assist us in this endeavor, and there’s a high chance we can get the Tengu Tribe to join us as well. Other than that, the infuriating crimes that Chu Kuangren committed in the cave must have sparked anger in different tribes. I believe some of them are displeased with Emerald Hill and Tushan as well. We might be able to form an ally.”

“Oh, speaking of which, you’ll have to thank this Chu Kuangren. He was the one who created a chance for you to bring that many forces together under one banner.”

“You will have to thank him on my behalf. I want him to know what is worse than death.”

“I certainly will.”

…

In the Great Ten Thousand Mountains, Sky Centipede Tribe.

A giant thousand-legged centipede was crawling over the mountains, and it left terrifying poisonous gas in its trail, desolating the land it crawled over.

Suddenly, the centipede shone and shrunk rapidly into the form of a human.

The handsome young man was none other than the leader of the Five Poisons, Wu Tian.

“Chu Kuaagren might have destroyed ninety percent of my cultivation level in the Ancient Heavenly Yokai Cave, but I got lucky and ventured into the Poison Emperor Land by mistake. Now, I have refined and cultivated all five poisons and acquired the one and only Five Poisons Destructive Immortal Physique. This is wonderful!”

Wu Tian savored the brand new power he acquired with a grin on his face.

The Five Poisons Destructive Immortal Physique was a top-tier Supreme Immortal Physique. Although incomparable to an Honorable Supreme Immortal Physique, it was still one of the strongest Supreme Immortal Physiques.

After all, how many monstrous sky-prides could possess an Honorable Supreme Immortal Physique?

“Even with the Five Poisons Destructive Immortal Physique, I must not be careless. Chu Kuangren possesses three peerless Daoist Physiques, and I’m not his match in terms of physiques. So, I must plan deliberately in order to have my revenge. First, I need to find ingredients to refine the Immortal Poisons,” Wu Tian murmured.

That was when he received a message from his tribe leader.

“Oh? The Golden Crow King is proposing to form an ally with the Sky Centipede Tribe to fight Emerald Hill and Tushan? Interesting.

“It seems like the crimes Chu Kuangren committed in the Ancient Heavenly Yokai Cave have angered the Beast Ruler clan so much that they are diverting their resentment toward Emerald Hill and Tushan.

“Chu Kuangren, if both Emerald Hill and Tushan are destroyed because of you, I believe the look on your face must be amusing. Could it be sadness? Sorrow? Or despair? I’m looking forward to it. Hahaha…”

Wu Tian cackled in laughter.

He would never miss this battle for anything.

At the same time, he was not worried about Chu Kuangren interfering with the battle between the Yokai Tribes.

There were many great ones among the Beast Ruler clan, including a number of True Immortals, Gilded Immortals, and even Arch Gilded Immortals.

No matter how ridiculously monstrous Chu Kuangren was, he was a mere Heavenly Immortal. What could he possibly do to alter the course of the incoming battle?

In the Avarice Tribe, the Avarice King saw the message and reacted with a strange look in his eyes.

“Oh, the Golden Crow King is inviting us to go to war with Emerald Hill and Tushan, huh? Interesting.

“Emerald Hill and Tushan are no longer weak forces with the two Fox King and Queen’s return. Their strength is now at a whole new level. So, Golden Crow King, I wonder how many forces can you bring together to defeat Chu Kuangren? Should the Avarice Tribe fight alongside you in this war?

The Avarice King considered the invitation and ordered a meeting with the elders to discuss the matter.

After careful deliberation, the Avarice Tribe decided to join this war. However, they must first plan out the share of spoils.

If the Avarice Tribe could not get at least thirty percent of the spoils after the war, they would not join the alliance.

Meanwhile, at the Dark Fox Tribe…

A lady with a voluptuous body and a long black dress sat on the throne. Her gaze was soft as she read through the message.

The lady was none other than the Dark Fox King.

“Going to war with Emerald Hill and Tushan under Golden Crow’s banner? It seems like there’s a high chance to win… Emerald Hill, Tushan, your days are numbered. With the two of you out of the picture, the Dark Fox Tribe will become the orthodox Fox Tribe! My lifelong wish will finally come true with this battle!”

The Dark Fox King smiled and started to gather her troops.

Other than the Sky Centipede, Avarice, and Dark Fox, Tengu and the Nine-Headed Snakelet had decided to join the alliance as well.

On top of the Golden Crow, six Beast Ruler clans had decided to form an alliance and go to war with Emerald Hill and Tushan.

Emerald Hill and Tushan’s fates were sealed the moment the alliance was formed.

As the troops of all six Beast Ruler clans marched forward, the Great Ten Thousand Mountains fell into a never before seen turmoil.
