Chapter 2165: Revived

Just then, the other monsters also saw the divine medicine. Their heart rates sped up and they swallowed with difficulty.

“Immortal medicine, there’s actually a stalk of immortal medicine here!”

“This should be the legendary Divine Dragon Immortal Medicine. Only a place like the Tomb of Ten Thousand Dragons with all of its draconic energy could produce this kind of divine medicine.”

“No, just the Tomb of Ten Thousand Dragons’ draconic energy wouldn't be able to produce something so incredible. In order to take form, it also seems to be borrowing the power of the World Law Beacon.”

…

The monsters were all knowledgeable individuals. They immediately recognized the medicine and were all incredibly excited.

To a certain degree, this stalk of divine medicine was even more precious than the World Law Beacon. Apart from some special World Law Beacons, most World Law Beacons weren’t as valuable as this Divine Dragon Immortal Medicine. After all, if they obtained the World Law Beacon, it would merely allow them to invade this world more easily. The benefits would be shared among everyone in their faction. But the benefits of this immortal medicine would belong only to the one who claimed it!

Throughout the endless worlds, there were only a trifling dozen or so of these immortal medicines. Most of them were also controlled by the most powerful individuals, while the locations of the rest were all mysterious and unknown. They had never expected a world this small to have such a legendary item. Whether it meant allowing them to live once again or to do business with the most powerful beings of the worlds, the benefits would be unimaginable!

They all began to rush at the altar at the same time. But as soon as they moved, their bodies suddenly froze. They noticed each other's movements and felt some misgivings. They were each worried that they would become everyone else’s target if they rushed forth first. That was why no one dared to take the first step. There was only a single stalk of Divine Dragon Immortal Medicine, but there were still so many people here.

The Firedevil Sea Beast looked at Ka Qier and asked with a snicker, “Skin-Flaying King, according to our previous agreement, the things inside should belong to us, right? Why are you suddenly trying to fight with us over it?”

Zu An was startled.

So this was their agreement! But what does the Skin-Flaying King want then?

Ka Qier smiled insincerely. “Our agreement was for your group to obtain this World Law Beacon. It doesn't include this Divine Dragon Immortal Medicine.”

When they heard what he said, the alien monsters’ faces darkened. The Skin-Flaying King's reply wasn’t too surprising. After all, this was a temptation that few across the endless realms could resist.

When Zu An saw that the situation right now was the most favorable for him, he spoke up and suggested, “How about we get rid of him first, and then we’ll divide this immortal medicine evenly among ourselves? That’d at least be keeping the goods among ourselves.”

When he heard this, Ka Qier’s expression changed greatly.

I gave you the Unleashed Dew and let you have all that fun for nothing! You immediately turned on me without any hesitation.

The Bloodthirst Crocodile grinned. “No objections.”

The Shadowhorror Devil replied briefly. “Agreed!”

The Firedevil Sea Beast also laughed. “If you're all already being like this, of course I’m not opposed to it.”

However, they all knew that even if Ka Qier was taken out of the competition, there would still be another bitter battle later. Even so, having one less competitor was always a good thing. That was especially true for these Hell creatures, whom they just couldn't figure out completely. Getting rid of him earlier was the safer choice.

Zu An smiled when he saw the monsters’ reaction. He knew that this was what all of the monsters had been thinking, which was why it wasn’t hard to get them to agree.

Shang Liuyu also sighed in relief when she saw that.

No wonder he didn’t want to borrow the strength of Ao Yong’s side. The first reason is that he was unreliable, and the second is that with a common enemy, the alien monsters and Hell creatures wouldn’t break their alliance easily. Only now, when the common enemy has disappeared, can rifts in their relationship form.

The monsters surrounded the Hell creatures. Malicious grins appeared on all of their faces, as if they were already prepared for a bitter massacre.

Ka Qier suddenly sighed. “Just what makes you so confident that you can defeat me?”

The monsters all frowned. Ka Qier’s confidence made them a bit apprehensive. It was four against one, and they were all on the same level. They just couldn't figure out how he was going to make it out of this alive. Take Ao Yong, for example. Under their joint attacks, he had been defeated almost instantly. Just what was Ka Qier still hiding?

Just then, Ka Qier suddenly erupted with powerful death energy. Black miasma spread through the entire hall. Then, his hand shot out and thrust into the stone statues to the side.

“Did this guy go mad?” The alien monsters were stunned. They hadn’t expected him to suddenly activate his aura. He hadn’t attacked them, and had gone after the statues instead?

But they quickly realized why he was doing that. The statues didn’t shatter from Ka Qier’s strike. Instead, some cracks appeared on their skins. They were all shocked. After all, Ka Qier’s casual attacks couldn't destroy the world, but collapsing mountains would be easy enough. And yet his strikes actually couldn't break down these statues?

While they were all feeling confused, the surfaces of the statues gradually split apart, then fell off piece by piece. An ancient, bleak, and savage energy spread out in all directions.

“I can smell the scent of monsters~” A long and drawn-out voice echoed through the palace. Then, all of the statues cracked apart.

“Skin-Flaying King, what the hell is this?!” The Firedevil Sea Beast was shocked and angry. The strange aura in this hall even made him feel a bit of unease.

Ka Qier smiled sinisterly. “I was planning to bring out this trump card a bit later, but you courted death yourselves. You have no one to blame but yourselves.”

Zu An thought to himself that Ka Qier hadn't had good intentions either after all. He had planned to get rid of these alien monsters from the very start. Of course, the alien monsters weren’t any better. Even if Zu An hadn't said anything just now, they had probably also planned to get rid of Ka Qier together.

But what kind of skill did Ka Qier use? Did he use some secret Hell method that could make these statues come alive?

He quickly rejected that suspicion. The black death energy around the statues had been released by Ka Qier just now. These statues didn’t have any death energy inherently. It seemed that Ka Qier’s skill was a trigger that had activated a certain defensive mechanism in this place.

But how is he so familiar with this place?

Zu An had already had his doubts from the moment the other party first opened the door. Ka Qier seemed almost to have come here before, and yet his later reactions showed that he hadn’t.

Did he find out about the layout of this place through some ancient texts or journals?

In the same instant, the smallest statues burst apart. But even though they were the smallest, they were still several meters in height. Creatures that looked like neither dragons nor lizards crouched atop stone pillars. They stared at everyone present with fierce expressions. A powerful pressure emanated from them as well.

Just then, one of the creatures moved. They leaped straight into the alien monsters standing farthest from the center of the group. An alien monster was ripped to shreds almost instantly. The Heart-Devouring Demon Spider within hurriedly tried to escape, but it was crushed flat by a slap in an instant.

At the same time, the creature swung its tail, making numerous monsters rock back and forth unsteadily. An unfortunate individual had his body pierced straight through by its sharp tail. A sinister creature whose entire body was made of bloody and badly mangled flesh struggled free. It looked as if it didn’t have any skin. It was clearly one of the Skin-Flaying King’s subordinates.

The Ocean race people who had been replaced by these two factions really were unfortunate. Their insides had been completely devoured until only a layer of skin remained.

When it saw the Hell creature try to run, the reanimated monster opened its mouth. A colorless ball of energy slammed into its body. That Hell creature screamed bitterly, and its entire body was surrounded by the colorless energy. Its entire body seemed to be pierced right through. Soon after, it turned into a streak of clear smoke before completely disappearing.

Bitter screams resounded continuously in the main hall. Many of the creatures that were neither lizard nor dragon came alive, leaping into the group of alien monsters and Hell creatures.
