One by one they added to the broth, each one adding a priceless beast or resource along with their tears.
Seeing this the other tribes couldn't help but be moved.
"*Sigh* it's really come down to this," one of the other 12 Super Tribe leaders set forth and put his own Immemorial Beast into the pot.
The other leaders followed suit and soon everyone contributed something.
The liquid in the pot had turned a deathly black from all the ingredients, the smell it released was foul to the point of causing some mortals to die!
Even Rank 6 Gu Immortals were fainting from its odor, and this was Myriad Beast Fusion Color Tribesmen!
If an ordinary Rank 6 smelled this, they might die from shock!
Even a Rank 7 might be brought to their knees.
And now Hei Lou Lan had to consume the entire pot!
But she had come this far, suffered so much, and now she was closer to her dreams and aspirations.
The bestial nature in her was further stimulated by the smell instead of disgust she surprisingly felt hungry?!
She confidently lifted the whole pot and began drinking it!
The audience was in shock.
Despite their accustomed to food not tasting great even they knew that this broth would be hard to swallow let alone gulping it down as if it was water.
Even the Super Tribe Leaders were terrified of her.
"Truly, a Sacred Child indeed, although she is lacking in appearance her personality, demeanor and strength certainly match a Sacred Child"
The other leaders nodded their heads in agreement.
As Hei Lou Lan finished the pot a savage nature burst forth from her, one could faintly hear the screams of all the beast consumed to make that pot.
The aura she emitted made the Gu Immortals present buckle to the ground in fear.
Even the Rank 8 Leaders were having a hard time withstanding her.
While the others thought Hei Lou Lan was showing off her newfound strength only she realized that the new strength was slowly slipping out of her grasp.
The Dark Capital Strength Totem burst forth from Hei Lou Lan displaying a new form with 3 Heads and 6 Wings!
It was a never-before-seen creature
"With this, our world can finally be saved!" the Super Tribes leader was nearly in tears.
As he looked up at the creature, he noticed that his world began to spin.
At first, he thought it strange that he was affected by Hei Lou Lan's aura, but he soon caught sight of his own body completely headless!
The shock was plastered across his face!
The other Immortals began to look in horror and began to run in fear.
Normally, the tribesmen of the Myriad Beast Fusion Color Heaven were resilient people but seeing a Super Tribe leader be killed with no resistance made them grow frightened.
However, they quickly realized that they were encased in a barrier.
"What is this!" One of the Super Tribe Leader remarked.
Outside the barrier, they could see 14 figures.
2 of which were Desolate Extremity and Yellow Extremity who held the identities of Blue Phoenix Tribe leader and Fire Blend Tribe Leader respectively.
"Explain yourselves Lady Lu and Ling Huo!" The Super Tribe Leaders from within shouted at them while trying to break the barrier.
Desolate Extremity smiled: "It's simple chief since you wanted Hei Lou Lan to save your world you should provide her with all the strength possible right?"
The Super Tribe Leader turned around and realized that Hei Lou Lan was not just massacring everyone she was eating them as well!
"You you you," the Tribe Leader was stammering in both fear and anger.
Desolate Extremity merely giggled: "Chief I'd worried about surviving before all else, this barrier can easily hold all of you."
The reason such a strong barrier could exist was because of the Pseudo-venerable Light Emperor!
With his use of Rank 9 Light Gu, no one below the Pseudo-Venerable Level was even a threat to him.
"Hmph, become food for Hei Lou Lan and let our Huang Jin tribe dominate this world just like the entirety of the Northern Plains!"
On the Chess Board
The members of the Northern Plain were shown to be clustered in one area, only Giant Sun knew what was happening as the board only displayed the locations of the participants, not the other living beings within.
All the other Venerables thought that they had just set up their HQ when really, they were pushing their plan forward with none the wiser.
It should be mentioned that the Pseudo-Venerables were also not displayed on the map for 2 reasons.
One was that there was no way for a Formation Killer Move to apply one on them, their Dao Marks were too massive.
Secondly, they were sent in secret so that the Venerables would be unaware of which Pseudo-Venerable were into the Grotto Heaven.
This meant that currently the positions of Light Emperor, Shen Shang, Lu Wei Yin, Zhan Bu Du, Ying Guang Xin and, 1 other Pseudo-Venerable that Star Constellation had kept hidden.
Of the 6 Pseudo-Venerables, 3 were on Fang Yuan's team.
He had truly made good use of the rules to send 3 of his own Pseudo-Venerables into the competition.
But he knew he had to make a consensus and limited the number of Rank 8s he was sending to 3 giving him a total of six Rank 8s, 3 normal, and 3 Pseudo.
Of course, Fang Yuan only made those concessions so that on the surface the Venerables had nothing to say, but with the added use of Gu Houses, the difference in strength was largely normalized.
Back in the Holy Lands
Hei Lou Lan was on a rampage spree killing every tribesman.
As most of them cultivated using their Totems it made it very easy for her to charge straight up and kill them.
Although Totem Killer Moves had the advantage of lingering outside the body to help out or be activated without much thought or Essence.
Only cultivating Totems made one susceptible to close combat or overwhelming firepower, in this case, Hei Lou Lan had both!
Combining with this new 3 headed Biao gave her a level of strength on par with a Pseudo-Venerable, while also boosting her speed and defenses.
It was also consuming relatively little Primordial Essence the only problem was, she couldn't control herself.
Slowly she was thinning the crowd, whenever attacks landed on her it would only damage the Dark Strength Capital Totem and would not hurt Hei Lou Lan, who would then use the corpse of the fallen to repair her totem.
This vicious cycle continued until even the Super Tribe Leaders perished.
Only when all the tribesmen were dead, did Light Emperor enter the dome.
Hei Lou Lan sized him up and for the first time, she stood there on full alert.
Her bestial instincts told her that this man was very dangerous.
Light Emperor called out: "Hei Lou Lan! Come to your senses! You have much more things to do. Lord Giant Sun Immortal Venerable is watching!"
His words were filled with conviction and strength, he had also used his own personal Killer Move ------ Edifying Light, to try and clear her head.
Which was beginning to work.
The savagery in Hei Lou Lan's eyes dimmed slightly and her feet and stance began to become wobbly.
"Hei Lou Lan listen to me! Don't faint activate father's Killer Move -------- Familial Emotion"
At the shout of Light Emperor, the beast side was starting to get startled and began to fight against Hei Lou Lan's control.
Her face was contorting between savagery and a struggling expression.
Suddenly, her right leg pushed against the ground as she thrust her right hand forward aiming for Light Emperor's neck!
The right side of her body was being controlled by the Beast side and it raised it arms towards Light Emperor, but the Left Side caught it.
But it was clear that Hei Lou Lan would soon lose to the beast side.
With her current strength, even Light Emperor would have perished, and his forward began sweating.
But he grit his teeth "Hei Lou Lan forget about me, for now, it only caught me off guard use your effort on the Killer Move I'll handle things here."
Immortal Killer Move ---------- Binding Light
Chains of Light erupted from the ground binding Hei Lou Lan to the ground.
Immortal Killer Move ---------- Immaculate Golden Light Body!
This was an improvement over the original Light Body, it now covered the user in so many Light Path Dao Marks that the user shone like gold.
It was also extremely tough, fast and gave each of his Light Path attacks a little boost as they drew in more Light Path Dao Marks from the body.
The Chains of Light began emitting brighter Light as the beast Hei Lou Lan struggled violently.
At this point, Hei Lou Lan was using only half her brain, and thus half her will and thoughts to complete a very complicated Killer Move.
If the beast side managed to break free from the chains it would disrupt her too much to the point where she may be completely consumed by her nature.
She was working tirelessly and persistently to complete the move, while her beast side was doing the same to free itself.
*Crack*
The sound alerted her that the Light Chains were not holding up and would soon break!
"Just a little more…"
The beast side couldn't speak but it no doubt thought the same.
When suddenly, a small flame appeared above the cracks, the flame was no ordinary flame it was Soul Flame.
And although its strength was Rank 5 it targeted just the precise spot to make one of the chains break.
The change was so fast it caught everyone off guard.
The beast Hei Lou Lan quickly burst forth with all her might.
As her arm once again reached out to that body of gold, but all she saw was that gold peel of Light Emperor and launch itself at her!
"Phew, I made it in time somehow, how you like that I created it on the spot." Light Emperor was panting as the sudden change had also forced him to try the move without much testing.
With the body now completely immobilized Hei Lou Lan managed to activate the Killer Move Familial Emotion.
Across the Gu world members of the Huang Jin tribe began to be a bit grumpier and a bit more savage.
Usually, at the level of Rank 8s, it wouldn't make such a big difference but because this was related to Reckless it managed to affect the entire Huang Jin tribe.
*Huff*
*Huff*
Both Hei Lou Lan and Light Emperor were exhausted, Light Emperor had been not only coming up a new Killer Move but also maintaining the barrier the whole time.
As soon as the fighting ended. He dispelled the barrier, the other Rank 8s came to attend to them and set up camp.
Meanwhile, 100 Meters away Ling Guang Xin was seen stalking the camp.
"Master, should we attack them now?" Fairy Zi Wei respectfully asked.
"No, the main body acted a moment ago but now I'm sure the other Venerables are aware of our position not only that but now Giant Sun's camp has two Pseudo-venerables.
"We should move."
That's right the Soul Fire was none other than Spectral Soul's move!
(Note: Sorry for the miscommunication in chapter 2367, I realized that I put Zhan Bu Du as the example for how the display feature worked it's been changed to Fang Gong.)
I can't believe that I would make it this far I'm really thankful for all the support I hope to make this more stable and regular but between work and family, I had to write late at night which was very draining.
I will try to write more consistently.
See you all in the next one :)
