Chapter 752 Twelve beasts of calamity (1)

Yang Qing flicked his luminescent charcoal stick a few times as countless thoughts and ideas flooded his mind.

"If one of them has something to do with the Purgatory black tiger cult, what would they gain from coming here?.." muttered Yang Qing with his gaze trained on the royal capital of the Deer Mountain Kingdom.

"I don't think there would be anything of value for them here. The Wang patriarch had already purged every trace of the cult in the White Mulberry Kingdom both before and after the battle ended.

I doubt there would be anything to find not unless the patriarch looted something from the corpse of the cult leader and kept it with him, but considering the heights he reached and the two statues, would anything the cult leader had even appeal to him not unless...."

Yang Qing paused as he narrowed his focus on the two statues.

"They could know about the statues that propelled the Wang Patriarch to the heights he reached and the entirety of the Bi Xie Empire after, maybe they are trying to replicate what the cult leader had wanted to do with the White Mulberry Tree in refining it with the help of the purgatory flames of damnation array into a form that would help him breakthrough to the domain realm.

Could that person want to do the same?" murmured Yang Qing as he held his chin in deep contemplation.

"But the statue isn't the same as the White mulberry tree. If it contains the true nature of the Pi Xiu, I doubt it would be corruptible no matter how damaged its current state...

The nine named divisions were; Hun Dun Division, Qiong Qi Division, Taowu Division, Taotie Division, Tiangou Division, the Primordial Water Demon Ape Division, the Yong Division, and lastly the Zhuya Division.

Every single one of these divisions was named after terrifying mythical creatures that stood on the same pedestal as dragons, phoenixes, and white tigers and they were all famous for the ability to cause wild wide chaos and destruction.

The Hun Dun, Qiong Qi, Taowu, and the Taotie were collectively called the four perils.

The hundun was a mythical creature with six wings, six legs, and no face whose primary ability was to shapeshift into any creature it consumed. It not only gained the ability to transform into them, but their abilities and accumulations too. It also caused disorder and chaos everywhere it went because of just its inherent presence alone, tainted and contaminated an area with decay and dark energies that could even swallow the sun. An area contaminated by its presence would never harbor life except for another hundun and it would need the purifying flames of the phoenix or the cleansing power of the primordial parasol tree to restore the area.

Because of its corruptive nature, a saying was developed, better to face the wrath of the heavens than to have a hundun as a guest in your place for even a second.

The Qiong qi was just as notorious as the hundun. It too was a mythical creature whose entire body was cloaked in purple-

black flames. It looked like a hybrid of a wolf, tiger, and dragon with spiked hones that went from its head down to its tail, with deep yellow eyes that hid bloodthirsty mayhem and chaos within it. It was massive in frame but despite its stature, it had great agility that accompanied its fearsome strength.

The Qiongqi existed for nothing else other than brutal savagery. Every living thing that entered its sight would be torn apart, even space itself was not spared from its destruction. It knew no fear, it never got tired, and every feature of its body made it the worst predator one would ever face, as it used its horns, claws, and teeth to tear apart any defense, its eyes broke the mind and will of anyone who wavered before it and it could deduce countless daos with it, while its purple flames burned through everything and anything laying waste to anything it came across.

If a Qiongqi sets its sight on you even hiding at the ends of the earth, and in the sturdiest of defenses would not keep you safe from it, even if you escaped to the sun, it would still follow you there, destroying everything in between.
