--- Chapter 245 ---

"Six-Winged Angel's Essence Sphere, huh?" Yu Long stared at the red and purple sphere with seven stripes on his palm. Tempest and Camilla stared dumbly at the Demonic Core, their mouths dripping with saliva.

He chuckled at their reaction, "This one wasn't suitable for either of you."

"Six-Winged Angel is a monster who uses Holy Flame, a further mix of fire and lightning elements."

"Tempest, your storm control would clash with the Holy Flame."

"As for Camilla, you need a Draconic-type Core more than anything. Your C-Rex's origin would reject Six-Winged Angel's Core."

Tempest and Camilla were depressed by his words. They had never seen the seven-striped Demonic Core before, and it was more painful knowing they couldn't use it.

Yu Long shook his head gently and prepared something else for the bird and dinosaurs instead, grabbing two blue-gold pills from his Sky Poison Pearl.

"Eat this."

"I make it from the Golden-Blue Lotus we got in the Golden Lake earlier, and it should be able to promote your bloodline and body by a stage."

Tempest and Camilla's eyes lit up.

They are eyeing the blue-gold pills with a hungry look.

Yu Long wasn't stingy, so he threw the pills at them.

Camilla swallowed it immediately, causing her body to shake and grow bigger under their watches. Her sword-like tail became jet-black and serrated on some parts.

Even then, Camilla's arms are still tiny. They are growing big, yes.

But Yu Long believed her bloodline was lacking somehow.

Meanwhile, Tempest hugged the blue-gold pill before eating it. It was the best gift for her current self.

After consuming the pill, Tempest's body didn't change much. Still, her beak and claws are sharper, and her feathers become luscious with an emerald gleam.

There is a certain sharpness in her wind now.

Overall, Tempest and Camilla have undergone an upgrade.

"Hmm?" Yu Long turned around and spotted a group of mutated beasts staring at them. Some of them even had fishing rods in their hands or claws.

Rawr!

Camilla walked forward, waving her sword-like tail threateningly.

She seemingly asks what they want, and the bear with a tree fishing rod points at Yu Long with admiration in its eyes.

Rawr?

Camilla tilted her head in confusion.

Mhm! Mhm!

The bear and other mutated beasts nodded in return.

Yu Long understood their conversations, and his mouth twitched because these mutated beasts actually wanted him as their boss, hoping he would give them some scraps from his fishing.

Each of these beasts is a Sovereign Profound Beast, yet they admitted Yu Long was better than them. They swallowed their pride for a sliver of opportunity to evolve.

Tempest had an amused expression on her bird face. As expected, even the mutated beast acknowledged the greatness of God Master!

Yu Long crossed his arms and calmly gazed at the mutated beasts before saying, "You can follow me, but you must not be noisy. I don't want to fish while you guys are roaring and cawing randomly in the background."

"Do you guys understand?"

The mutated beasts glanced at each other and then nodded at Yu Long, giving him a piece of their minds.

"Camilla, they are yours to herd now." Yu Long said to the young C-Rex.

Camilla roared at the mutated beasts with a smug expression, telling them she was their second boss.

A moment later, they went to another Star River and discovered a golden toad who fished with his long tongue.

"..." Heavenly King of Gold.

"..." Yu Long.

"What are you doing, Foolish Gold?" Tempest was speechless.

Ranked one level higher than Tempest herself, the Heavenly King of Gold was a Mysterious Golden Toad who was seldom from exposing himself to the outside world and usually preferred to hide from other Heavenly Kings.

Although the Heavenly King of Gold would enter the Demonic Star Secret Realm, he usually hid himself very well. He only showed his strength three years ago when he fought the Heavenly King of Stone and successfully injured the latter.

That shows how strong the Heavenly King of Gold was for being able to injure the second-ranked Heavenly King.

Yet here we are, the Heavenly King of Gold was miserably fishing, his long tongue dragging through the dark water.

It was such an embarrassing sight.

The awkwardness gradually seeped into the atmosphere.

"Go away! Don't look!" The Heavenly King of Gold shouted.

"Too damned late!" Tempest shouted back. "Just ate your damn shame at this point!"

"Uugh..." The Heavenly King of Gold sulked.

Yu Long noticed a lingering perfume on the Heavenly King of Gold's body and smiled, "Heavenly King of Gold, did you enter the secret realm with someone else?"

"A frightening empress, for example?"

The Heavenly King of Gold's eyes widened, "H-How did you..."

"Empress?" Tempest tilted her head in confusion.

Yu Long shrugged and answered, "When I entered the secret realm, I met an arrogant young lady in the venue, and we fought some statues to get Evergreen Tree's Dew."

"Though, we parted after that..."

"Evergreen..." Tempest was shocked this time.

"Tree's Dew!" The Heavenly King of Gold couldn't believe his ears.

"Human, do you have the dew?"

Yu Long smiled, "What if I am, what if I'm not?"

"If you say yes, let's do a trade." The Heavenly King of Gold replied with a determined look. "If you don't have the dew, it's fine, but tell me the location of the Empress."

Yu Long narrowed his eyes at the Heavenly King of Gold. This golden toad is definitely up to something.

Looking for the Little Demon Empress was an excuse.

Yu Long knew about the Heavenly King of Gold from Burning Venom's last memory, and the white snake believed the golden toad was one of the most cunning Heavenly Kings.

"What treasure do you want to trade the dew with?" Yu Long asked while leaning on a tree.

"With this!" The Heavenly King of Gold showed Yu Long a four-striped Demonic Core with a pure purple color.

"Wow, four-striped..." Tempest said sarcastically.

"God Master doesn't need such a lousy Demonic Core."

"Why don't you give him your Golden Behemoth's Claw?"

"Tempest, Golden Behemoth's Claw isn't easy to make!" The Heavenly King of Gold lashed out. "I need five years to make one, you know?"

"Also, what do you mean by lousy Demonic Core? Four-stripped Demonic Core hardly appears, and only Greed has it so far beside me!"

Tempest snorted and showcased a four-stripped Demonic Core that Yu Long handed him as a snack earlier.

The golden toad was appalled.

'What the hell? Since when did the four-stripped Demonic Core become a common thing?' He thought in a shambles.

Yu Long glanced at Tempest and asked, "What is this Golden Behemoth's Claw?"

"Ultimate Gold," Tempest answered calmly.

"It was said the Heavenly King of Gold was the descendant of Three-Legged Red Toad and Golden-Eyed Toad, inheriting his parent's innate powers, which is Ultimate Gold, the highest element of Metal."

"The Golden Behemoth's Claw is a weapon made with Ultimate Gold, known for its sharpness and durability."

"It could even cut through Heavenly King of Stone's runic body."

"I noticed that God Master lacks a good weapon and initiated a better trade."

Heavenly King of Gold's eyelid twitched. This green bird ran her mouth about his secret.

However, the golden toad was depressed.

Before this, he had three Golden Behemoth's Claws, but one was taken away by the Little Demon Empress, leaving him with only two.

It was hard to fight with just two ultimate weapons.

He's weighing the worth of Evergreen Tree's Dew and his Golden Behemoth's Claw.

A few seconds later, the Heavenly King of Gold pulled his tongue out of the Star River and said, "Fine, let's do a trade."

"I will give you my Golden Behemoth's Claw, but you must give me ten drops of Evergreen Tree's Dew."

"Do we have a deal?"

'Ten drops? How cheap.' Yu Long thought to himself. He had a nearly basin-full of Evergreen Tree's Dew, so ten drops are nothing.

Yu Long mentally put ten drops of the dew into the jade bottle and traded it with the Golden Behemoth's Claw, realizing it was actually a golden sword.

This golden sword was much stronger than Yu Long's bone knife made with his own bone. Yes, It is making Yu Long curious about the Golden Toad's Ultimate Gold.

At the same time, the Heavenly King of Gold was overjoyed, not realizing he was making a loss in this trade.
