Chapter 206: An Unexpected Ending, Taking Control of Azure Sky World! (Happy New Year)

The deepest part of the Black Mist Mountains.

Qu Zhuang and Elder Liao An were feeling tense.

Their only hope now was that Lin Yuan was wary of the Azure Sky Alliance, did not dare to completely flip the table, and would spare the two of them.

However, Lin Yuan merely sized them up for a few moments before releasing Demon Ancestor Tree seeds to begin parasitic infestation.

Qu Zhuang and Elder Liao An were Azure Sky Alliance Elders, Stage Six Experts, barely reaching Lin Yuan's internal standard for 'parasitism'.

Furthermore, as high-level cultivators of the Azure Sky Alliance, they possessed even greater 'parasitic' value.

Buzz!!!

Two dull gray seeds fell downward.

After perfecting the parasitic effect, the Evil Demon Seed's surface appeared deeper in color, with an inexplicable Soul Power faintly circulating within it.

"Not good."

"He wants to parasitize us!"

Seeing this, the gaunt old man 'Qu Zhuang' immediately deduced what Lin Yuan was trying to do.

As an Azure Sky Alliance Elder who had fought for many years on the Evil God Battlefield, he knew several of the Extraterrestrial Evil God's common methods.

Among them was the parasitic ability. Although parasitized human cultivators had dull gazes and stiff movements, they inherited most of their combat strength from before death and became fearless.

Most importantly was the psychological impact on the cultivators of the Azure Sky World side.

Former comrades and companions today parasitized, turning around with hideous faces to tear into and attack them…

"It's useless."

"Even if you parasitize me, you won't be able to hide it for too long. If we disappear for too long, the Experts of the Alliance will definitely be drawn here…"

Elder Liao An roared in a low voice while struggling.

At this moment, they were desperately resisting the parasitic power of the Evil Demon Seed.

"Won't be able to hide it for too long?"

Lin Yuan shook his head slightly without explaining much.

The Azure Sky Alliance Elders like Elder Liao An and Qu Zhuang's understanding of the Evil Demon Seed's parasitic ability was still stuck at the level of the Extraterrestrial Evil God's Ancestral Demon Tree.

But Lin Yuan was not the Ancestral Demon Tree. With Lin Yuan spending decades continually refining and perfecting the Evil Demon Seed's parasitic power through his Heaven-Defying Comprehension,

the parasitic effect was countless times stronger than that of the Ancestral Demon Tree.

In this regard, one only needed to look at the seven Demon Beast Kings beside him.

From start to finish, Elder Liao An and Qu Zhuang had not noticed that the Demon Beast Kings were already parasitized, believing instead that they had merely submitted to Lin Yuan.

Swish, swish.

The Evil Demon Seeds quickly merged into the foreheads of Elder Liao An and Qu Zhuang.

After a brief struggle, these two Stage Six Elders…

Immediately stood up and bowed respectfully to Lin Yuan, "Master."

"It succeeded?"

Lin Yuan felt it carefully.

He confirmed that the Evil Demon Seeds deep within their minds had completely merged.

"Tell me, what exactly did you come to the Black Mist Mountains for, and how is the situation on the Evil God Battlefield?"

Lin Yuan asked casually.

Divine Ape King had already reported to him that these two Alliance Elders were acting on orders from the Azure Sky Alliance Leader to draft the Demon Beast Kings to launch a counteroffensive on the Evil God Battlefield.

But Lin Yuan wanted to ask a few more questions about the specific details.

"Master, the Azure Sky Alliance Leader determined that the Extraterrestrial Evil God is in an extremely weakened state, so he plans to launch a counteroffensive to completely destroy the Evil God Battlefield."

"To this end, the Azure Sky Alliance Leader decided to mobilize many foundation assets of Azure Sky World, such as the Demon Beast Kings of the Ten Great Mountain Ranges, as well as certain War Machines, and so on."

"Many of these foundation assets can only be activated by Vice Alliance Leaders with proper authority. Thus, this time the Alliance Leader dispatched the Twelve Vice Alliance Leaders as well as various Protector Elders into Azure Sky World."

"In order to gather these foundation weapons as quickly as possible to launch the counteroffensive…"

Elder Liao An said in a low, respectful tone.

After being parasitized by the Evil Demon Seed, the original host's essence did not die; it was merely 'replaced,' so many memories were unaffected.

"So that's how it is."

Lin Yuan nodded. He naturally knew why the Ancestral Demon Tree had fallen into an extremely weakened state.

"You are saying that all Twelve Vice Alliance Leaders of the Azure Sky Alliance and the Protector Elders are currently inside Azure Sky World?"

Lin Yuan seemed to think of something and asked.

"Yes, Master."

Elder Liao An and Qu Zhuang looked at each other and nodded in confirmation.

"Is that so…"

Lin Yuan stroked his chin with a thoughtful expression.

"In that case… after you two go out, bring back another Elder or two."

Lin Yuan said.

Now, the number of his Evil Demon Seeds had surged to three hundred, meaning he could completely parasitize quite a few more.

Outside the Black Mist Mountains.

Qu Zhuang and Elder Liao An turned into streams of light and flew out.

"Master wants us to bring other Elders back. Which one should we bring?"

Elder Liao An pondered in his heart and glanced at Qu Zhuang.

Although both were Azure Sky Alliance Elders, in terms of connections and influence, Qu Zhuang undoubtedly far surpassed him.

"I actually have someone in mind."

"Follow me."

Qu Zhuang nodded and immediately flew toward another mountain range of the Ten Great Mountain Ranges.

The Myriad Beast Mountains.

Also one of the Ten Great Mountain Ranges of Azure Sky World.

Outside the Myriad Beast Mountains stood a middle-aged man.

"These Demon Beast Kings are dragging their feet so much. I even brought the Alliance Leader's decree, yet they still say they need to prepare."

This middle-aged man was named 'Bian Bo', also an Azure Sky Alliance Elder.

Coming to the Myriad Beast Mountains this time, he was delivering the Alliance Leader's decree to order the Demon Beast Kings of the Myriad Beast Mountains to head to the Evil God Battlefield for the counteroffensive.

Just as Bian Bo was getting somewhat impatient from waiting…

Two escaping lights suddenly appeared not far away.

"So it's brothers Qu Zhuang and Elder Liao An."

Bian Bo glanced over and immediately greeted them with a smile.

"Brother Bian Bo."

The gaunt old man Qu Zhuang smiled faintly.

"How is it? Are those Demon Beast Kings cooperating?"

Qu Zhuang asked.

"Cooperating?"

"With the Alliance Leader's decree, would they dare not cooperate?"

Bian Bo smiled disdainfully. "However, these Demon Beast Kings are too slow, claiming they need a moment to prepare."

"That's all?"

Qu Zhuang raised an eyebrow.

"Hmm?"

"Brother Qu Zhuang, what do you mean?"

Sensing there was more to those words, Bian Bo asked.

Qu Zhuang exchanged a glance with Elder Liao An and whispered, "Brother Bian Bo, you know that the two of us were responsible for the Black Mist Mountains."

"Right."

Bian Bo nodded.

"When we went to order the Demon Beast Kings of the Black Mist Mountains, several of them were quite tactful. They took the initiative to present treasures, asking us to take extra care of them on the battlefield,"

Qu Zhuang said.

"There's such a good thing?"

Bian Bo was filled with envy. The Demon Beast Kings of the Myriad Beast Mountains lacked such discernment—forget presenting benefits, they didn't even say a few polite words.

"Hahahaha."

Hearing this, Qu Zhuang laughed triumphantly.

"I wonder what treasure the Demon Beast Kings of the Black Mist Mountains presented?"

Bian Bo asked curiously.

Seeing Qu Zhuang in such high spirits, the treasure was certainly extraordinary.

"Earth Milk."

Qu Zhuang said softly.

"Earth Milk?" Bian Bo repeated, slightly puzzled.

"Million-Year Earth Milk."

Qu Zhuang added two more words.

"Million-Year Earth Milk?!"

Bian Bo widened his eyes. That was a fine treasure indeed, especially for Stage Six cultivators like them—it could produce effects like cleansing tendons and washing marrow.

"It's just a pity…"

"Million-Year Earth Milk cannot be preserved or carried away. Liao An and I spent half a day absorbing it, forcing ourselves to absorb until we couldn't take in any more before coming out."

Qu Zhuang shook his head and said.

"Indeed."

"Million-Year Earth Milk is a true Heaven And Earth Treasure. Once it leaves its place of origin, it rapidly dissipates."

Bian Bo nodded.

This was common knowledge in the cultivation world.

But in the next moment…

Bian Bo reacted.

"Brother Qu Zhuang, are you saying there's still some Million-Year Earth Milk left?"

Bian Bo probed.

"More than just some."

Qu Zhuang shook his head and said, "By the way, Brother Bian Bo, do you want to go absorb some? Opportunities like this are rare."

"Thank you so much, Brother Qu Zhuang!"

Bian Bo was overjoyed.

"It's just that I need to wait here for the Demon Beast Kings of the Myriad Beast Mountains…"

Bian Bo hesitated slightly.

"What's so hard about that? Liao An, guide Brother Bian Bo to the deepest part of the Black Mist Mountains. Won't it be fine if I wait here for you?"

Qu Zhuang patted his chest and said.

"Then…"

"Thank you, Brother Qu Zhuang!"

Bian Bo was deeply moved. What a great person Brother Qu Zhuang was—telling him about such a great Opportunity as the Million-Year Earth Milk and waiting for the Demon Beast Kings in his place!

"Go on, go on."

"Our relationship will be even closer in the future."

Qu Zhuang waved his hand.

"Naturally."

Bian Bo nodded firmly.

In front of a jade-green lake.

A Green-Bearded Old Man stood quietly observing the lake.

"Four hundred years ago, when the Extraterrestrial Evil God appeared outside the world, many factions in Azure Sky World were shaken. Among them, the Progenitor Black Tortoise Beast King, known as one of the Four Sacred Beasts, fell asleep right here."

"Before going to sleep, the Progenitor Black Tortoise Beast King made a pact with the Alliance Leader, saying if there ever came a day when a major matter regarding the Extraterrestrial Evil God required its aid, he need only ask."

Thoughts churned in the Green-Bearded Old Man's mind.

He was an Azure Sky Alliance Protector with Peak Stage Six strength. Entering Azure Sky World this time, his specific mission was to awaken the Progenitor Black Tortoise Beast King.

"Hmm?"

Right at that moment, the Green-Bearded Old Man glanced into the distance.

"Third Uncle, Third Uncle, it's me!"

A figure flew over rapidly—it was 'Bian Bo'.

"Little Bo…"

The Green-Bearded Old Man nodded slightly.

As a high-ranking member of the Azure Sky Alliance, the Green-Bearded Old Man would naturally occasionally offer some assistance to his descendants and junior relatives.

Bian Bo was the most promising among his junior relatives.

"What is it?"

The Green-Bearded Old Man asked directly.

He had the task of awakening the Progenitor Black Tortoise Beast King and could not delay for too long.

"I have a good friend who went to the Black Mist Mountains to draft the Demon Beast Kings there to go to the Evil God Battlefield…"

Bian Bo spoke up.

"I know that."

The Green-Bearded Old Man nodded.

The various Vice Alliance Leaders and Protector Elders returning from the Evil God Battlefield all had their own tasks to perform.

"Third Uncle, guess what that friend of mine discovered in the Black Mist Mountains?"

Saying this, Bian Bo cautiously looked around.

"What was discovered?"

The Green-Bearded Old Man said with a slight chuckle.

"A Dao-Merging Flower—a ten-thousand-year Dao-Merging Flower."

Bian Bo lowered his voice and spoke solemnly.

"A ten-thousand-year Dao-Merging Flower?!"

The Green-Bearded Old Man's pupils contracted tightly.

For a Peak Stage Six expert wanting to Breakthrough to Stage Seven, besides needing to comprehend the Grand Dao on their own, relying on external items like a ten-thousand-year Dao-Merging Flower could similarly shorten or even leap across the gap.

As a Peak Stage Six expert, the Green-Bearded Old Man dreamed of breaking through to Stage Seven. It was only that his natural talent was insufficient; without an unexpected turn of events, he likely wouldn't be able to touch Stage Seven.

But now…

He saw hope.

A ten-thousand-year Dao-Merging Flower.

As long as he could obtain that ten-thousand-year Dao-Merging Flower, stepping into Stage Seven would be an absolute certainty.

At that time…

Relying on his past achievements and his relationship with several Vice Alliance Leaders…

The Green-Bearded Old Man would become the Twelfth Vice Alliance Leader of the Azure Sky Alliance.

"Is this true?"

The Green-Bearded Old Man stared at Bian Bo. "Also, since it's a ten-thousand-year Dao-Merging Flower, why didn't you keep it for yourself instead of telling me?"

Although the Green-Bearded Old Man had rendered Bian Bo much help,

faced with such a monumental Opportunity involving stepping into Stage Seven, let alone uncle and nephew, even a biological father and son might turn against each other.

"Third Uncle…"

"Those eight Demon Beast Kings of the Black Mist Mountains joined forces to occupy the Dao-Merging Flower. I couldn't possibly get my hands on it."

"That's why I came to tell you, Third Uncle."

Bian Bo explained.

"Why didn't you report it to the Alliance?" the Green-Bearded Old Man asked.

"Report it to the Alliance? How much benefit would they give me?"

"It's better to tell you, Third Uncle. When you step into Stage Seven and become a Vice Alliance Leader, just don't forget Little Bo."

A look of panic opportunely surfaced on Bian Bo's face.

"So that's why."

The Green-Bearded Old Man nodded slightly.

That made sense.

It wasn't that Bian Bo didn't want the Dao-Merging Flower,

but that he simply couldn't obtain it. If he dragged it out further, those Demon Beast Kings would likely consume it.

"Those Demon Beast Kings are a bunch of trash! We humans fight against the Evil God invasion on the battlefield, while these beasts enjoy themselves in the deep rear!"

"Treasures like the Dao-Merging Flower naturally belong to us humans, yet they dare try to hoard it!"

The Green-Bearded Old Man flew into a rage. "Little Bo, lead the way. I want to see which Demon Beast Kings dare try to hoard the Dao-Merging Flower!"

The Green-Bearded Old Man immediately departed for the Black Mist Mountains with Bian Bo.

As for awakening the Progenitor Black Tortoise Beast King, that wasn't urgent; it wouldn't be too late to do it after obtaining the Dao-Merging Flower.

A few days later.

Atop a high mountain.

A tall man stood with his hands behind his back.

"This place Seals one of the most powerful foundation assets of our Azure Sky World—a War Machine that sweeps through everything…"

The tall man's expression was filled with slight emotion.

As a Vice Alliance Leader of the Azure Sky Alliance, his status was second only to the Alliance Leader. Only he possessed the 'authority' to activate this foundation asset.

"High Deputy Alliance Leader!"

"High Deputy Alliance Leader!"

"I have a major discovery to report to you!"

At this moment, a stream of light flew over rapidly.

It was the Green-Bearded Old Man.

"What major discovery?"

High Deputy Alliance Leader turned his head and glanced at the Green-Bearded Old Man.

In the Azure Sky Alliance, the Green-Bearded Old Man served under his command, and the two had a relatively close relationship.

"A nephew of mine discovered traces of a World Weapon in the Black Mist Mountains!"

After casting a spell to prevent others from eavesdropping, the Green-Bearded Old Man lowered his voice and spoke.

Half a year later.

Deep within the Black Mist Mountains.

The Azure Sky Alliance's Twelve Vice Alliance Leaders, thirty-three Protectors, one hundred and fifty-six Elders, Four Sacred Beast Kings, and ninety-three Demon Beast Kings all stood there with utmost respect.

They answered Lin Yuan on all kinds of secret matters regarding Azure Sky World.

Lin Yuan looked down upon sixteen Stage Seven Experts, eighty-eight Peak Stage Six Experts, and one hundred and ninety-four Stage Six Experts, suddenly falling into deep thought, unable to help feeling deeply emotional in his heart.

How on earth did I, a traitorous double agent sent in by the Extraterrestrial Evil God, end up taking control of the entire Azure Sky World?
