The bell ringing only echoed in the Eastern Ocean sky for less than ten minutes before the Buddhist Tower completely surrendered.
Each time the bell rang, its entire body would shake from the base to the tip of the tower. There was a soreness in its entire body as if it would collapse any time.
The Molten Lotus that was dragged into the dreamland to watch the battle was terrified as it watched that. By then, it only found out that the Nightmare Tapir had yet to perform many techniques when they fought earlier.
The Buddhist Tower completely lost its temper when it was released from the dreamland. Under the Nightmare Tapir’s request, a circle of black waves spread out of the body of the tower and rippled towards the sea.
Within half an hour, over 600 virtual god-level monsters in the entire Eastern Ocean appeared one after another.
After confirming that all the virtual god-level monsters were present, the Nightmare Tapir activated its dreamland again and pulled all hundreds of the virtual god-level monsters into it.
Later on, Lin Huang saw sea monster carcasses floating on the surface of the ocean around the Buddhist Island one after another.
In less than a minute, more than 600 virtual god-level monsters were killed.
Lin Huang could clearly sense the sea of spiritual energy rush into his body. Then, he quickly transferred the energy into the Nightmare Tapir’s body.
The spiritual energy in the Nightmare Tapir’s body accumulated immediately. Some five to six minutes later, its spiritual energy had finally reached its limit and began to stabilize. However, it was still one step away from reaching Virtual God rank-9.
“Almost there. I’ll get there when I have tens of mid-level Virtual Gods.” The Nightmare Tapir could not help but sigh softly while looking at the spiritual energy that was so close to breaking through in his body.
Next to him, Lin Huang smiled while speaking, “Don’t worry. There are still many virtual god-level monsters to the west of this ruin. We can continue hunting.”
The Nightmare Tapir nodded and turned its head to glimpse at the Buddhist Tower that was not far away. “Do we bring it with us? Or do we leave it here?”
“Bring it along.” Although Lin Huang was planning to bring the entire ruin with him eventually, he thought he should bring everything that he could this round.
Although the Buddhist Tower was resistant, it chose to obey since it had witnessed the Nightmare Tapir’s techniques. It entered Lin Huang’s body after the Molten Lotus did.
After conquering his second god rule item, Lin Huang summoned his dimensional portal immediately. He stepped into the dimensional portal with the Nightmare Tapir and returned to the central zone that he set the coordinates of before. Bai and the rest had finished digging the entire Molten Divine Crystals mine beneath Volcano No. 1.
Lin Huang complimented them and promised to give all the participants three months’ worth of snacks. He then summoned all of them back into their card forms.
After putting the Molten Divine Crystals away, he then summoned Thunder.
“Let’s go to the Deceased Desert to the west.”
As ordered, Thunder flew and rushed all the way to the west of the ruin with Lin Huang and the Nightmare Tapir.
They finally arrived at the Deceased Desert to the west of the ruin when it was approximately 3 p.m. The Deceased Desert was where Qi Muxiong piled the monster carcasses in his God Territory.
However, since Qi Muxiong divided this God Territory, nobody knew whether they were affected by the Eternity Fire, the monster carcasses came alive one after another and became spirit-type monsters.
There were all kinds of spirit-type monsters wandering in the entire desert.
Only a minority of them had complete bodies whereby most of them had broken limbs and a handful of them had completely turned into skeletons.
“The most powerful monster in this area is a Crimson-Eyed Skeleton Dragon which is a first-rank True God. It was a complete dragon skeleton when Qi Muxiong acquired it. He thought he’d keep it as a piece of art since it was well preserved. Perhaps because it had been dead for too long, this dragon skeleton didn’t retain its original consciousness when it came back alive. It was only left with its instinct. Its consciousness only developed slowly throughout the hundreds of years.
“Apart from that, because the monster carcasses that were piled here had rather high combat strength, there are over 1,200 virtual god-level monsters in this area compared to the Eastern Ocean. There are 11 high-level virtual god-level monsters while two are on Virtual God rank-9. There are over 200 of them that are mid-level Virtual Gods.”
Lin Huang’s eyes lit up after hearing the Eternity Fire’s description. All of those monsters were prey to him. However, he spoke to the Nightmare Tapir while remaining calm, “That Crimson-Eyed Skeleton Dragon managed to elevate to True God, proving that it was at least a mythical-level dragonkin when it was alive. Although it has turned into a spirit-type monster, we shouldn’t underestimate its ability.”
The Nightmare Tapir nodded but it did not see its opponent as a threat. “I’ll take note of that. However, since its consciousness is new, the intensity shouldn’t be anything much more powerful than the Molten Lotus and the Buddhist Tower. In reality, it’s a monster that I’d suppress.”
Lin Huang knew that apart from a minority of beings with compelling spirits and consciousness, most of the life forms could hardly resist being dragged into the Nightmare Tapir’s dreamland. Beings with weak spirits and consciousness would definitely be suppressed by the Nightmare Tapir even if they had compelling combat strength.
As long as his opponents were dragged into his dreamland, they were basically waiting to be killed. The reason being the Nightmare Tapir was close to invincible in its dreamland.
When Thunder had just gone into the Crimson-Eyed Skeleton Dragon’s sensing range above the clouds, Lin Huang and the Nightmare Tapir could obviously sense someone was watching them.
Through Thunder’s eyes, Lin Huang saw the Crimson-Eyed Skeleton Dragon lying on top of the massive mountain from thousands of kilometers away.
It was a dragon skeleton that was at least tens of thousands of meters long. Its body was crystal clear like white jade. This dragon skeleton was preserved close to perfection without any flaws whereby each detail on it was exquisite. The sharp bones that popped up since it was mutated made it look tens of times more ferocious than when it was alive.
What caught most attention were its four charcoal-red pupils. They looked like fire burning in its eye sockets. Meanwhile, the four eyes were fixated on Thunder thousands of kilometers away.
In reality, it did not see Thunder that was above the clouds. However, it sensed Thunder’s exact location clearly within its territory range. It could also sense Lin Huang and the Nightmare Tapir standing on Thunder’s back.
The reason why it was looking at Thunder was that it could sense the Virtual God rank-8 monster on Thunder’s back with its instinct. The monster was emanating a faint threat.
Doubt showed in its four pupils. It could not really understand why it would feel threatened by a Virtual God rank-8 monster. It was not because he had never encountered such combat strength, but because such a monster was merely food to it.
Naturally, Lin Huang could not see the doubt from this dragon skeleton that did not even have flesh on it. Noticing that the dragon skeleton had noticed him, he did not bother to hide himself and patted Thunder’s back. “Approach it slowly, but be careful.”
He then turned his head to look at the Nightmare Tapir. “You can do it when we’re close enough. No need to wait for Thunder to get very close to it.”
The Nightmare Tapir nodded. Thunder, which had received the order, began slowing down and approaching the Crimson-Eyed Skeleton Dragon carefully.
8,000 kilometers, 7,000 kilometers… 3,000 kilometers…
The Nightmare Tapir’s pupils turned black just when flames were spurting out of the dragon skeleton’s four pupils faintly. The flames in the Crimson-Eyed Skeleton Dragon’s pupils extinguished all of a sudden, and it stopped moving completely.
