Chapter 226: Spoils of War

On the boundless sea, two figures, one red and one white, attacked again. The giant beast, annoyed, became much more irritable. Before Zhanyue and Yunyao could get close, it was already agitated. Countless tentacles formed an impenetrable defensive barrier. Each strike could tear the sea apart, raising waves tens of meters high, easily crushing any living beings.

Yunyao’s speed and reactions were quick, and Zhanyue could now barely keep up. One wore golden armor like a Valkyrie descending to earth, the other wore the red Silver Moon Armor like a god of death.

“Go!”

The two took a deep breath, planning to break through in one go.

Sword energy crisscrossed, tentacles intertwined, and both sides battled once again. The pale green blood flowing from the beast’s severed tentacles soon dissolved into the sea. It howled in pain, letting out an ear-splitting roar. It was a soul-striking mental attack, but fortunately, both had defensive measures.

“You dodge, I’ll clear a path for you,” Yunyao said to Zhanyue.

“You have another trick up your sleeve?” Zhanyue said joyfully, then retreated to Yunyao’s side.

Yunyao raised her sword high, her eyes fixed ahead, her expression serious. As golden light appeared on her brow, a larger Yunyao appeared behind her. This Yunyao looked colder and more emotionless than the original, with an air of authority like a true emperor who held life and death power over all in heaven and earth.

“Imperial Divine Avatar – Sword Energy Corridor!” The divine ability she used was the Imperial Divine Avatar, not the Heaven and Earth Divine Avatar, but its power was nearly the same. She was indeed worthy of being the Feather Heaven Emperor’s inheritor, with endless trump cards.

Terrifying sword energy surged from around her, its horrifying power directly splitting the sea in two. All the tentacles in front were completely annihilated, forming an absolutely safe corridor on the sea. Sword energy swirled on both sides of the corridor, continuously pulverizing the monster’s reinforcing tentacles.

“Go quickly!” Yunyao gritted her teeth. Maintaining the sword energy corridor was also very painful for her.

“Are... are you alright?” Yunyao looked warily at Zhanyue with tentacles growing from his back.

“Don’t worry, I’m fine. I haven’t been possessed by the monster,” Zhanyue smiled, not explaining further. He opened his hand, holding two eyeballs that were still moving around, very creepy. “Such a big creature, yet such small eyes. One for each of us, perfect as we both need them for our eye technique cultivation.”

Yunyao nodded, taking one divine eye. Whether for her Imperial Eyes or Zhanyue’s Lustful Eyes, cultivation was extremely difficult. Eye technique cultivation needed a medium, and the Fear Beast’s fear eyes were one of the best mediums.

“How are you?” Zhanyue asked with concern, seeing Yunyao’s pale face.

“It’s nothing, just a bit overdrawn. I’ll be fine after a few days of rest,” Yunyao said calmly, putting away the divine eye. She was actually a bit happy. At least this task didn’t seem impossible now. Facing this giant creature, neither of them could do without the other. Without her, it wouldn’t have been easy for Zhanyue to approach the monster’s head. Without Zhanyue, she might not have found the key to killing this monster.

“Good, let’s go back to the Mountain Goblin Clan first. It’s relatively safer there,” Zhanyue said.

They quickly returned to the Mountain Goblin territory, which had become a kind of safe house for them. The previous divine ability had been very taxing on Yunyao, apparently not something that could be easily used. They needed to rest for a few days before heading to the next location.

“You really did it?” The Mountain Goblin ancestor was also a bit surprised to see the two return victorious. In such a short time, they had actually eliminated the Fear Disaster Beast. Her previous help and expectations hadn’t been in vain.

“The remaining six divine artifacts are managed by six other races. I haven’t been in contact with them for a long time, so I can’t help you much. However, I was once on good terms with the old chief of the Spirit Eye Clan. I’ll write a letter for you to take to him, which might help you a bit. As for the divine artifacts of the other five major races, you’ll have to figure that out yourselves,” the Mountain Goblin ancestor said.

“Spirit Eye Clan?” Zhanyue and Yunyao quickly thanked her. It was fortunate they had obtained enough information here, otherwise they would have been like headless flies, bumbling around aimlessly.
