Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming

Chapter 863: Prolonging Life - Netherworld Sheep Palace Master



To the various races of the Abandoned Land, many feel that time passes slowly. Facing the gray world every day, they constantly sense a pervasive, desperate atmosphere.

So they feel that days are like years, and they are compelled to find things to do.

Whether it's slaughter or battle, ambush or trap, or becoming the target of other powerful beings' assassination attempts.

In general, most of the beings in the Abandoned Land, whether actively or passively, live a numb and brutal life, becoming accustomed to death, battle, and slaughter, day after day, until the end of life!

But for those who have something to do and are enthusiastic about it, time flies by, often slipping away unnoticed over the years!

Just like Qin Feng!

He came to this settlement, opened a branch of the Ten Thousand Demons Pavilion, and used his years of accumulation as capital to trade various treasures with the beings at the settlement using the resources inside the Demon Refining Pot!

Because treasures entered his treasure vault every day, Qin Feng was delighted every day.

In this situation, he naturally paid little attention to the passage of time, and unknowingly, over several decades, he acquired many treasures from the hands of powerful beings in the settlement.

And because the Abandoned Land does not produce Spiritual Objects, Cultivation Resources are extremely hard to obtain, and healing-type treasures are inflated in price, whereas other treasures are suppressed to very low prices.

For example, the precious Divine Gold, which can be used to refine Divine Artifacts, had once been reduced, under the instruction of Old Turtle, to being exchangeable only for a few Spirit Fruits or Healing Pills!

And many of the magical materials from various worlds, which originally were valuable items, could only be used as raw materials to exchange for ordinary Spiritual Objects in this place!

It's not that Qin Feng is ruthless, nor is Old Turtle too black-hearted, but this is just how the entire Abandoned Land is.

Even going to shops in other settlements, those materials capable of refining Divine Artifacts cannot fetch high prices.

After all, almost every strong force that ventures in usually has a few Divine Weapons on hand, and even if not, they can obtain some Divine Weapons or materials from other assassinated strong beings, so these items are far less valuable than treasures capable of enhancing strength and recovering injuries.

Coincidentally, Qin Feng's Demon Refining Pot is abundant in Spiritual Resources, and even after exchanging so many, it was just a drop in the bucket.

Even so, he controlled the output of the shop and did not provide an unlimited supply.

Otherwise, if he truly did so, it would suppress the business of other forces and easily attract envy. If it were discovered that he possesses a treasure capable of continuously producing resources, the strong forces in the entire settlement might become inclined to rob him.

Despite this, over these few decades, Qin Feng also encountered numerous assassination attempts and ambushes during his occasional outings, with even two forces launching a large-scale assault.

One believed it had understood the details of the Ten Thousand Demons Pavilion's small building and prepared numerous powerful Divine Artifacts to offset the power of the Array.

However, they didn't know Qin Feng not only had a Spatial Array but also had eight hundred Demon Gods under him, so ultimately, they not only failed to gain advantage but also allowed Qin Feng to seize the opportunity to subdue many powerful beings, including two monsters at the Upper Divine Spirit level.

This made Qin Feng quite pleased and even began hoping for more forces to invade so that he could seize the opportunity to subdue a few more strong beings.

Unfortunately, while he destroyed the forces that came to provoke him, he did not scare off the major forces in the settlement. However, those who next attempted to loot him became smarter and did not enter Qin Feng's small building of the Ten Thousand Demons Pavilion. Instead, they led their forces outside in an assault, trying to break the building first.

They believed that as long as they broke the independent space within the building and forced Qin Feng to fight head-on, he would not be their match.

Little did they know Qin Feng had already prepared for this!

Although Qin Feng didn't want to completely expose all his trump cards and didn't release all nearly nine hundred Demon Gods, nor did he let all the Upper Divine Spirits in the Demon Refining Pot mobilize, he had arranged several dozen Demon Gods outside early on.

As in the small building of the Ten Thousand Demons Pavilion, only Old Turtle and the Swallowing Sky Toad appeared regularly, most of the strong beings in the settlement assumed Qin Feng had only a handful of subordinates and didn't take much precaution.

Who would have thought that Qin Feng had long deployed several dozen monster Demon Gods to lurk around?

These monster Demon Gods either found other places to reside nearby or wandered throughout the settlement, just waiting for Qin Feng's call to converge quickly from all directions, launching an attack from behind the forces attacking the building.

And Qin Feng seized the opportunity to storm out from the Ten Thousand Demons Pavilion, leading a group of several dozen powerful Spiritual Beasts, coordinating from inside and out, causing the invading enemy to be utterly defeated!

Although he didn't manage to eliminate all opponents, after killing the leaders and most of the adversaries, the beings in the settlement recognized Qin Feng's strength and realized he didn't lack a force under him.

With over a hundred fierce monster Demon Gods, although not numerous, they were not something ordinary forces could provoke.

More importantly, the war power Qin Feng personally demonstrated was remarkably formidable, and after several cases of slaughter, there were no more provocations, and the entire settlement acknowledged his presence, even ranking the Ten Thousand Demons Pavilion among the top twenty major forces.

This was logical, as the seventeenth and nineteenth ranked forces had been successively eradicated by Qin Feng. Although the Ten Thousand Demons Pavilion never showed any intent to expand outward, the impressive track record was enough to place it among the notable forces!

Qin Feng, despite having no inclination to expand his power outward, saw the business of the Ten Thousand Demons Pavilion grow larger, though by now, ordinary treasures no longer captured his attention.

To collect particularly precious and rare treasures, Qin Feng was willing to present some genuinely good items.

Among these were not only Immortal Elixirs that could enhance the power of Divine Spirits, but even a few Immortal Peaches with life-extending effects!

These were fruits borne from a Spirit Root Peach Tree in the Beiming Immortal Mansion, which had matured slowly over the years since he entered the Abandoned Land.

In fact, such Immortal Peaches for extending life-span held an awkward position in the Cultivation World.

Because an Immortal Peach could only increase life span by a limited amount, and eating them in large quantities would significantly reduce their effectiveness. For an Immortal with Longevity capable of living for a million years, having a few hundred years more or less of life span was trivial!

Only those ordinary people admiring Immortal Dao yet unreachable, and Primordial Spirit Realm Cultivators whose life span was about to end, valued such life-extending and life-span-increasing treasures greatly!

Therefore, although these Immortal Peaches were rare, they weren't highly valued by Immortals. According to rumors, some wealthy Immortals would even offer these Spiritual Objects as ordinary Spirit Fruit to guests during feasts hosting other Immortal friends!

Yet, while the Immortal Peach holds an awkward place in the Cultivation World, in the Abandoned Land, it commands a different regard.

As the Abandoned Land is an Absolute Zone where time flows tens of thousands of times faster than the outside, the number of strong beings living here is beyond imagination. Even in this settlement, many have survived countless thousands of years with their lives nearing an end.

Therefore, when Qin Feng brought out the Immortal Peaches and mentioned their effects, there was an immediate uproar among certain strong beings in the settlement without requiring any promotion.

On top of that, Qin Feng chose to sell these Immortal Peaches via auction!

Under the calculated hosting of the Old Turtle, each Immortal Peach was auctioned at exorbitant prices, with some powerful beings nearing the end of their life span willing to offer all their accumulated treasures over the years to compete for an Immortal Peach at the auction.

Between life and death, there is great fear, and few beings can face death calmly!

And these powerhouses who've lived for countless epochs, not only do they not feel they've lived enough due to their long lives, but instead, they feel more terrified as death approaches.

Their strength is overwhelming, allowing them to sense the lifeforce draining from within, calculating the time of their death!

But what can knowing do, it cannot be avoided.

This constant sense of death approaching truly terrifies these individuals.

Therefore, the appearance of the Immortal Peach stirred such a vigorous reaction.

...

In a luxurious palace filled with an aura of opulence, countless gemstones are embedded on the walls, the floor is paved with bricks of gold, and the exquisite wall carvings are crafted to perfection.

Even more astonishingly, there are many plants growing within this palace, lush and verdant!

In the Abandoned Land, this is simply unimaginable; most beings in the gathering place probably can't even imagine such a scene existing here!

After all, to maintain so many plants in this Spiritless Land requires the consumption of no small amount of energy.

In this lavish palace, an old man with sheep horns and silver-white hair sits poised on a throne.

He is dressed in luxurious robes, holding a beautifully crafted crystal cup in his hand, the contents unknown, as red as blood, exuding a fragrance tinged with a bloody scent.

In the hall, there are dozens of women of different races dancing gracefully; their alluring bodies twisting like Water Snakes, filled with endless temptation.

The silver-haired horned old man is very old; even though he sits there with an imposing aura as stable as a mountain, it cannot hide his age, and his profound cultivation has not stopped wrinkles from appearing on his face.

However, despite his doddering appearance, not a single soul dares to underestimate him.

Even the dancing women in the hall, and the strong men accompanying on both sides, all carefully flatter the old man.

Because, this old man is not a regular person; he is the leader of one of the four Great Forces of this gathering place, the self-proclaimed Innate Saint, the Netherworld Sheep Palace Master!

This is a powerhouse at the top of the food chain in the entire gathering place, having dominated for over ten thousand years with unfathomable strength, even though he hasn't taken any action for tens of thousands of years, none dare provoke such a top level being!

"Hall Master, it has been confirmed!"

Beside him, a man with a face as black as if smeared with the bottom of a pot, even his mouth is pitch black, as if opening a black hole when he speaks, murmured softly to the elder on the throne.

This person is not only dark and shiny, but also emits a faintly soul-stirring, eerie aura.

However, at this moment, this strange-looking man said softly to the elder on the throne: "Subordinates have discovered that Emperor Ku indeed obtained an Immortal Peach from the Ten Thousand Demons Pavilion and has been looking unusually youthful lately.

Today he even had the energy to go out seeking treasures and is rumored to be planning to buy another Immortal Peach from the Ten Thousand Demons Pavilion!"

"Oh?"

The Netherworld Sheep Palace Master, looking at the dancing alien race girls in the hall with half-closed eyes, paused his fingers tapping on the table, instantly piercing through the exquisite carved tabletop.

"Emperor Ku? Actually rejuvenated that old thing's vitality, it indeed seems true!"

Netherworld Sheep Palace Master revealed a trace of anticipation in his tone: "So it seems that kid probably possesses a singular Small World type treasure no doubt!

Hehe… Young and greedy, possessing such treasures yet not hiding away to cultivate properly, actually daring to be so covetous, unaware his details have been exposed, even if I don't make a move, others will rise with greed!

Rather than benefit others, it's better the things come to me!

Hmph, such precious Immortal Peach, taken out for casual sales, truly is… cough, squandered… cough cough cough…"

Before he could finish his sentence, the Netherworld Sheep Palace Master began to cough intensely, his breath stalling, black mist enveloping his visage, a decayed aura emanating from all over his body.

"Hall Master…"

The strong men on both sides were suddenly greatly shocked, hurriedly getting up with worried expressions.

"Cough cough cough…"

The Netherworld Sheep Palace Master continued to cough incessantly, the black mist on his face becoming more prominent, abruptly reaching out to grab a stunning woman dancing in the hall and biting into her tender neck of unknown race.

Gurgle gurgle…

The sound of blood being sucked echoed, and shortly the elder drained the woman's body of blood Essence Qi thoroughly, in the end, she turned into a pile of ashes with a bang, not even leaving a piece of skeleton behind!

"Hoo…"

After drawing all the blood Essence Qi from the woman's body, the Netherworld Sheep Palace Master quickly subdued the anomaly on his body, the black mist on his face receding, nowhere to be found.

However, his complexion was not good, merely waving his hand to indicate to the strong men on both sides that he was fine.

But soon, he turned to the dark man to the side: "Mo Yun, personally take a trip and bring that kid to see me.

Since he can present several life-extending Immortal Peaches, it's very likely he also has an Immortal Peach Tree, or perhaps other treasures that can increase lifespan as well.

To avoid any unforeseen situations, go with Chi Yan and Hanling, no matter what, you must bring him here, otherwise, without enough treasures to compensate for life span, I won't be able to sustain for much longer!"
