I Have a Golden Crow

Twenty minutes later, everyone gathered together.

The Desolate Shadow Wolf carried Du Yu to the foot of the colossal Eight Desolates Qiongqi.

”Demon Life is Like a Dream”

At our first meeting, I followed you across thousands of troops, reaching the peak of Eight Desolates!

Upon meeting again, you and I bowed our heads, both reduced to mere slaves.

It is worth mentioning that Yang Qingqing’s Demon Saint Demon Pet·Heaven Returning Wood was extending numerous branches to heal the Eight Desolates Qiongqi’s wounds.

This was also the first time Du Yu saw it after the Holy Wood had become a Saint.

The Heaven Returning Wood, towering over 100 meters, could truly be described as lush and towering!

Just a glance at it, Du Yu recalled the time at Gourd Mountain when the master and disciple encountered the Cold Beast Demon Saint·Heaven Returning Wood.

It’s unimaginable that back then, the Demon Saint·Heaven Returning Wood almost claimed the lives of the master and disciple, and now, Master Qing possesses one.

”Junior Brother.”

”Junior Brother.” Feng Jian both fell down, their faces showing no joy.

Du Yu slightly furrowed his brows: ”What’s the matter?”

Fu Jianzhou said helplessly: ”Regardless of whether Junior Brother brainwashed the Eight Desolates Qiongqi, its Supreme Rules cannot be utilized.”

Li Mengnan asked curiously: ”Why? Because Qiongqi’s domain is this hilltop?”

”That’s not it.” Fu Jianzhou shook his head, ”Qiongqi’s Supreme Dao is about ’being the sole ruler under heaven and earth’ or similar doctrines.”

Du Yu: ”Wow~”

So domineering?

Beside them, Jiang Feng nodded in confirmation: ”The Eight Desolates Qiongqi is the kind that gets stronger the more it fights.

On the battlefield, every enemy it defeats enhances its Supreme Dao, and its combat power also strengthens slightly.

According to Qiongqi, this combat boost has a limit, and in a new battle, it has to be accumulated again.”

Upon hearing this, even Yang Qingqing couldn’t help but marvel secretly.

The Demon Taming World is indeed vast and full of wonders!

Is there really such a mystical Supreme Rule?

Jiang Feng continued: ”Qiongqi’s utilization of this rule has a major premise.”

Du Yu raised an eyebrow: ”’Sole ruler under heaven and earth’?”

Jiang Feng nodded gently: ”Yes, the Eight Desolates Qiongqi cannot be inferior to others.

Otherwise, the premise for its Supreme Dao won’t hold.”

”Alright.” Du Yu grinned, ”Then let’s not let Qiongqi use the rules.

Anyway, its normal combat power level is quite strong enough.”

”As long as you can accept it.” Lin Shiwei slowly fell, apparently still somewhat regretful.

Now, it was Du Yu’s turn to comfort her: ”All right, all right, not every good thing needs to be ours!”

Lin Shiwei shrugged her shoulders: ”Why not?”

Du Yu: ”...”

”Haha~” Li Mengnan couldn’t help but laugh, ”Yeah! We eliminate harm for the people and accumulate virtue, good things should be ours.”

The girl’s pleasant laughter and teasing words lifted everyone’s spirits quite a bit.

Du Yu turned to Jiang Feng: ”By the way, Sister, are you interested in the Desolate Shadow Wolf?”

”Hmm?” The sudden words made Jiang Feng freeze.

Du Yu immediately said: ”Sister, don’t be polite, but also don’t force yourself. Everything should be decided based on your own preferences.”

He knew well his position in Sister Jiang Feng’s heart.

Du Yu was also worried that his sister would take this goodwill as an order.

Jiang Feng raised her head, looking at the docile Desolate Shadow Wolf Saint: ”What does Junior Brother mean?”

”It’s a Demon Saint!” Du Yu sighed, ”Its emperor-level and saint-level compatible Demon Skills are quite powerful.”

The reason Du Yu singled out these two Demon Skills was because, in the Great Xia Continent, the highest rank of the Desolate Shadow Wolf Race was only General Level.

That is to say, everyone had never seen the emperor-level, saint-level Demon Skills of the Desolate Shadow Wolf.

Jiang Feng couldn’t help but wonder: ”What are they?”

Du Yu: ”Desolate Wolf Replacement, allowing position shift among the summoned Desolate Shadow Wolf pack.

Desolate Wolf Shadow, enabling control of shadows to bind the enemy.”

These two Demon Skills mentioned truly startled everyone!

Regarding the effect of ”Desolate Wolf Replacement,” everyone had seen similar ones, like Fire Fox Race·Shadow-Luring Fire Fox.

But the Demon Skill·Desolate Wolf Shadow?

Control shadows to bind the enemy?

Du Yu patted the paw of the Desolate Shadow Wolf: ”Come on, bind her with a shadow.”

”Wu.” Suddenly, a dark shadow darted out from under the Desolate Shadow Wolf’s paw.

In an instant, the shadow connected to Jiang Feng.

Since Fu Jianzhou was close to Jiang Feng, senior brother also got caught.

Their movements were frozen, unable to move at all.

Du Yu had already jumped onto the wolf’s paw; during the experiment, he personally experienced it.

This shadow couldn’t bind Du Yu.

Although the Demon Skill is strong and can imprison the target’s body, suppress the flow of Demon Breath within the target.

The issue is, Du Yu is accompanied by the Supreme!

Mere saint-level Demon Skills cannot imprison the vast Demon Breath of Supreme Level!

Not even requiring Supreme intervention, the Shadow Gu Tower could assist Du Yu, easily breaking the shadow’s confinement.

”It’s done.” Du Yu patted the wolf’s paw, and the Desolate Shadow Wolf immediately retracted the Divine Techniques.

He smiled: ”How is it? The war generals under Eight Desolates Supreme, indeed have some tricks, huh?”

Fu Jianzhou took several steps back, nodding in agreement.

Jiang Feng also revealed a look of amazement.

The Demon Skills of the Desolate Shadow Wolf Race before General Level were not particularly remarkable, but these saint-level compatible Demon Skills were indeed eye-opening!

Du Yu: ”Consider it, Sister, it’s quite obedient.

We also rescued it from the clutches of the Eight Desolates Qiongqi, deep down it’s quite grateful.”

Jiang Feng opened her mouth, and after a long while, turned to look at Yang Qingqing.

Yang Qingqing smiled: ”Your Junior Brother gave me a Chi Bear, a Yue Mountain Lion, a Sorrow Seabird Saint, a Bamboo Snake Saint.

And a Supreme Dragon Boat Flower, a Supreme·Flowing Fire Suanni.”

Jiang Feng: ”...”

Everyone else fell silent, while Xu Feikong was completely dumbfounded!

Is this the kind of operation a disciple should have?

Even when giving betrothal gifts, it’s not done like this, right?

”Master Qing gave me more,” Du Yu smiled.

Master Qing’s Dream Dance Flame Butterfly died protecting him, and the Wind Trace Steed also died because of Du Yu.

Compared to Master Qing’s selfless protection for him all the way, Du Yu doesn’t feel he is giving too much in return.

Without Master Qing, Du Yu couldn’t stand so high, nor could he have everything he has now.

Not to mention anything else, let’s talk about something most practical: the Mountain and Sea Bell, which was supposed to be Yang Qingqing’s.

If it weren’t for her noble spirit and her love for her disciple, what right would Du Yu have to take the Mountain and Sea Bell?

That is to say, the so-called ”Lord of Mountains and Seas” should have been Yang Qingqing.

And the creatures inside the bell, Qingci, Kui Chou, Shatang, Jia Rong...

Even if the four Supremes did not belong to Yang Qingqing, at least for Du Yu, who is not the Lord of Mountains and Seas, his growth path would be entirely different.

Of course, Du Yu did not fail his own Immortal Master.

In addition to numerous demon pets and demonic plants, Yang Qingqing was also gifted by Du Yu with the Jiangshan Map, Jade Gourd, Arrow of Glory, Withered and Flourishing Bow, and so on.

Some things are good when left unaccounted for.

A song lyric goes well: We must owe each other, we must be detached... hmm.

”Think it over, Xiaofeng.” Yang Qingqing spoke to her female disciple, yet her eyes were on Du Yu, ”Consider your own circumstances.”

Du Yu nodded repeatedly: ”That’s right, that’s right.”

Yang Qingqing slightly lifted the corners of her mouth: ”Let’s go, let’s return to the Twin Trees.”

The group swiftly flew away from the mountainous area on the back of the Eight Desolates Qiongqi, returning to where the Twin Trees were located.

Among them was a small episode, when Du Yu ordered the Desolate Shadow Wolf to climb onto the back of the Eight Desolates Qiongqi, the Wolf Saint dared not!

Although the Eight Desolates Qiongqi had become a slave, its oppressive might still remained!

Du Yu didn’t make things difficult for the Desolate Shadow Wolf, simply letting it stand on the paw of the Eight Desolates Qiongqi.

Even then, the Desolate Shadow Wolf Saint was still trembling!

Here, special commendation must be given to the Twin Trees.

When the group returned under the tree, the Twin Trees were not frightened by the Eight Desolates Qiongqi.

It was very excited, congratulating everyone: ”Congratulations, Human Race.”

Du Yu chuckled.

Snowballs get bigger as they roll.

”Next, it’s time to cut down the Youhan Tree.” He gripped a withered branch, saying solemnly, ”Give us a day to rest.

The day after tomorrow, we’ll charge into the Youhan Realm together! How does that sound?”

The Divine Tree replied in a deep voice: ”Good!”

Du Yu continued, ”Underneath the Divine Tree’s main body, is the main body of the Cold Tree, right?”

”Yes.”

”Give me the coordinates, Divine Tree, we will go now.”

”Alright!”

In just a few seconds, Du Yu tore open a spatial rift.

He stepped through it, stepping into a world of ice and snow.

On this day, Du Yu felt as though he had traversed the Eight Desolates!

From flower-filled meadows, to desolate deserts.

From bizarre mountain forests, to snow-covered majestic mountains.

While Du Yu was still marveling, a convoy appeared in his sight.

Human Race?

Are they the Otherworld version of the ”Divine Wood Pavilion” organization?

Du Yu curiously observed the group, noticing their plain attire and extremely excited expressions.

It seems that the Eight Desolates Divine Tree has already communicated with this group.

However, when the group saw the white robe on Li Mengnan, and the Jing Chen beneath Master Qing, their expressions turned uneasy.

Fortunately, Master Qing had already stored the Eight Desolates Qiongqi and the Desolate Shadow Wolf Saint inside the Jiangshan Map.

Otherwise, wouldn’t this group have exploded with excitement?

It’s obvious that the enmity between the Human Race and the Beast Race in this world is deeply rooted.

It’s not an exaggeration to call it a blood feud!

In fact, the Human Race on the Great Xia Continent also lost, but not so disastrously, the remaining population is still considerable.

Moreover, the Human Race of the Great Xia Continent had the profession of Demon Taming even before the war began.

Although back then, Demon Tamers were considered heretical and despised, the profession was legitimately existent.

Du Yu had once seen in Bai Lan’s memoirs the demon pet·Wolf Lake Dog of her lover.

After losing the war, the Human Race on the Great Xia Continent quickly found a way to coexist peacefully with the Beast Race, immediately transitioning to demon taming for mutual development and prosperity.

But the Human Race on the Eight Desolates Continent...

They were defeated too thoroughly!

There are reasons for the Human Race, and of course, reasons for the Beast Race.

Not to mention other ferocious Demon Beasts, just one Eight Desolates Qiongqi is enough to turn the entire continent into a purgatory!

Especially since the Eight Desolates Qiongqi likes to eat human heads!

In the 50-plus years after the war, including the century during the war, wherever the Qiongqi roamed, how could there be any survivors of the Human Race...

Even those Beast Race groups that sheltered the Human Race would suffer a tragic fate.

With the Eight Desolates Qiongqi’s characteristic of ”being the sole ruler,” it would kill even its subordinates, let alone any Beast Race that dared to defy it?

This led to a problem—the Human Race in this world could only be considered to have left a spark.

The Eight Desolates Divine Tree, this Supreme God, claimed not to participate in the struggles of ants, but in the end, it made a move.

Under the protection of the Twin Divine Trees, people survived.

If the Eight Desolates Divine Tree hadn’t driven away the Beast Race, or didn’t provide protection to the Human Race, allowing slaughter under the tree...

I’m afraid that the Human Race in this world would have been truly annihilated!

”Phew~”

A gentle breeze swept through, and a figure in white, more pure than snow, slowly descended: ”Otherworld travelers, greetings.”

The visitor was a young woman, although her appearance was plain, her demeanor was ethereal.

Du Yu’s heart stirred, this aura...

Is this a Spirit God?!
