Chapter 2144: Little Bull Aspires to Become a Saint Venerable
The boundary area, also known as the Home of the Beasts, according to Little Bull.
This name wasn't coined by it but by some intelligent Starry Sky Beasts collectively.
According to it, there are a total of 108 Transcendent-level Starry Sky Beasts in the boundary area.
This number matches the records in the Human Emperor Network.
The 108 Transcendent-level Starry Sky Beasts refer to those like Little Bull, who possess intelligence.
In addition, there are some Transcendent-level Starry Sky Beasts without intelligence, which are not included in the count of 108.
These unintelligent Starry Sky Beasts are even more numerous, meaning there are hundreds of Transcendent-level Starry Sky Beasts in the boundary area alone.
This number far exceeds the number of Transcendents among the human race.
Despite the vast population of the human race, there are only about a hundred Transcendents.
This shows how extraordinarily gifted the Starry Sky Beasts are.
They have natural advantages and lifespans far exceeding those of human Saint Venerables.
Many Transcendent-level Starry Sky Beasts have lived for 100,000 years and still haven't reached the end of their lifespans.
Little Bull is relatively young among the Transcendents, being only over 20,000 years old.
According to it, its lifespan can reach 300,000 years, so it is just barely an adult now.
Lin Moyu couldn't help but feel a bit envious. In ancient times, even a Heavenly Venerable could only live for 500,000 years.
Unlike the various intelligent races, Starry Sky Beasts don't have a well-developed system, but they still possess territorial awareness.
The 108 intelligent Transcendent-level Starry Sky Beasts each occupy large areas of the boundary space.
The nearly 200 unintelligent Transcendent-level Starry Sky Beasts only care about their own territories and nothing else.
Besides the Transcendents, there is a true king in the boundary area.
A Starry Sky Beast that has reached the Saint Venerable realm rules the entire boundary area.
When it issues orders, all Transcendent-level Starry Sky Beasts must obey.
This includes even the unintelligent Transcendent-level Starry Sky Beasts.
Though they lack intelligence, they follow their instincts and obey the strong.
Sometimes, it's easier to command them because they have no intelligence and no personal thoughts.
Lin Moyu murmured, "So there really is a Saint Venerable-level Starry Sky Beast."
"It's no wonder the boundary area has existed for so many years."
"Do you know its strength?"
Little Bull shook its head, "I don't know, I only know that the king is a Saint Venerable."
"But the king is very powerful, stronger than an ordinary Saint Venerable."
"Once, a Saint Venerable from the demon race came to subdue the king but was defeated and seriously injured."
"A Saint Venerable from the Golden Eagle race also came but couldn't defeat the king either."
Lin Moyu's eyes showed contemplation, "The Saint Venerables from the demon and Golden Eagle races didn't come to subdue the king but to control all the Starry Sky Beasts here."
"If they succeeded, they could command the Starry Sky Beasts to attack the human race."
"The Starry Sky Beasts are numerous and powerful, posing a great threat to the human race."
No one knows how many Starry Sky Beasts have accumulated in the boundary area over countless years.
If they controlled the king, they could control all the Starry Sky Beasts in the boundary area.
Fortunately, they failed.
But strangely, the human race must know about this, so why aren't they worried?
Little Bull suddenly said, "The king is different from us; it cannot be subdued."
"Over 10,000 years ago, a powerful human came but also failed to subdue the king."
Lin Moyu asked, "Do you know who that human was?"
Little Bull thought for a while, "The battle was intense, and we were all drawn to it but didn't dare get close. I vaguely heard the king call that person 'Star Elder.'"
Lin Moyu's heart skipped a beat, "It was Star Elder!"
Unexpectedly, Star Elder had already been here. Although he defeated the king, he couldn't subdue it.
"No wonder Star Elder isn't worried. If even he couldn't subdue it, other races probably can't either."
"Since that's the case, there's no need to worry."
Lin Moyu now had a thorough understanding of the boundary area and knew what to do next.
The boundary area is vast, and the king of the Starry Sky Beasts usually remains dormant. As long as he doesn't provoke it, nothing will happen.
Besides the Saint Venerable-level king, there is no need to fear other Starry Sky Beasts.
A booming sound erupted as the crocodile beast finally broke through the Bone Hell, shaking off all the hell spirits and escaping in terror.
The crocodile beast was covered in blood, with wounds all over its body, looking extremely miserable.
Many places had exposed bones.
Its soul was severely injured, and its aura was very weak. It was making its last struggle for survival.
Little Bull's eyes widened. It knew it wasn't mistaken. The Bone Hell was indeed much stronger than before, significantly so.
Otherwise, the crocodile beast wouldn't be in such a miserable state.
Just escaping from the Bone Hell had exhausted all its strength.
Little Bull asked, "Master, do you need me to take action?"
Seizing the opportunity, Little Bull immediately volunteered, not forgetting to flatter.
Lin Moyu shook his head, "No need!"
A Skeleton King had already taken action, but only one.
Sword light flashed, and a God Slayer strike was unleashed. The sword light lit up on the crocodile beast.
Amidst its screams, the crocodile beast, which had just escaped, was pierced by the brilliant sword light, creating a huge hole.
Simultaneously, white bones emerged, forming a sword of rules that slashed at its soul.
The soul was injured again, and the crocodile beast screamed continuously. The soul injury transmitted to its body, breaking its bones.
Having already lost half its life in the Bone Hell, the crocodile beast now lost another half after being slashed, leaving it with no life left.
The Bone Hell still enveloped it, and the hell spirits pounced again, starting to devour it.
The crocodile beast's screams echoed, and Little Bull watched in horror.
It realized that if it hadn't agreed to become Lin Moyu's mount, it would probably face the same fate.
The thought of being devoured by hell spirits, bit by bit, sent chills down Little Bull's spine, making its hair stand on end.
Lin Moyu sensed Little Bull's change in aura and calmly said, "As long as you obey, I won't kill you."
Little Bull immediately said, "Rest assured, Master, Little Bull is very obedient. You won't find a more obedient beast in the entire Great World."
Lin Moyu smiled slightly. It was clear that Little Bull had a strong desire to live.
Especially after seeing the crocodile beast's miserable state, Little Bull felt that being alive was already a blessing.
As for being a mount, it wasn't a big deal.
Judging by its master's demeanor, it didn't seem like the type to whip its mount for no reason.
Little Bull kept comforting itself, "It's okay, it's okay. Although Master is ruthless and merciless, killing beasts without blinking, he doesn't seem to have a habit of abusing beasts."
"Little Bull, you can do it. Just stay alive, and one day you might become a Saint Venerable."
