The border area between the Land of Celestial Suffering and the Endless Beasts Territory was known as the Bloody Plateau. The plateau seemed to stretch to the end of the horizon like a broad and expansive spine, extending for millions of kilometres into the distance. Both sides of the plateau were encircled by deep abysses shrouded in blood-red mist. Even an Immortal King would have trouble surviving if they fell into the deep abysses on both sides of the plateau.

 

Moreover, strong winds that were unimaginably cold and bleak would constantly howl throughout the lands. Cultivators with weak cultivation might be blown away by the winds whenever they stood on the Bloody Plateau. Their flesh would be stripped from their bodies and their Souls would be destroyed.

 

Following the bloodshed between the Land of Celestial Suffering and the Beast Court, the blood-red mist that shrouded the lands grew increasingly denser. As countless heavenly soldiers from the Land of Celestial Suffering clashed with the Beast Race Army, rivers of blood flowed everywhere and corpses were strewn haphazardly across the ground.

 

The war had been ongoing for nearly half a year at this point. Both sides had suffered heavy losses, but those losses were considered insignificant compared to their whole heritage.

 

The Beast Race has the largest numbers, with the most Clans, in the Primary Hope Civilisation. Even though the Beast Court had not dominated the entire Beast Race, there were innumerable Beasts under their command. It should be said that the strength of each Beast was unfathomable. Moreover, there were Beast Generals, Great Beast Generals, and Beast Sovereigns above the Beasts.

 

Taking these factors into account, the losses suffered by the Beast Race Army during this period was practically negligible. After all, existences like the Beast Generals and Beast Sovereigns had yet to enter the battle. Their tasks were simply to intimidate the enemy as they watched from the sides of the battlefield.

 

When a person’s cultivation reached the Immortal Emperor Realm or the Dao Realm, they naturally became part of the core existences that formed the backbone of their respective Forces. Hence, the death of each individual would be a sizable blow.

 

To the Land of Celestial Suffering, the war was only meant to reciprocate the rage of the Beast Court. They had no real intention to start an actual war with the Beast Court.

 

On the other hand, many of the Beast Sovereigns in the Beast Court were only obeying orders on the surface. They secretly thought that the Beast Ancestor had gone insane. In their opinion, it was not a wise move to engage in hostilities with the Land of Celestial Suffering at such a critical juncture. However, they were intimidated by the might of the Beast Gathering Conch and the Beast Ancestor.

 

The Beast Sovereigns, who did not dare to openly disobey their orders, had not joined the battle in earnest. Even if they had to confront the existences of the Land of Celestial Suffering, they constantly held back and prioritised avoiding injuries.

 

“Over the years, Father has secluded himself in the Rogue Abyss to comprehend the Great Dao. On the other hand, Eldest Brother has only been obsessed with pursuing greater strength. As the Beast Overlord, he has been negligent towards the discipline and governance of the Beast Court. His negligence has caused many Beast Sovereigns under the Beast Court’s command to become less and less afraid of the Beast Court’s power! No wonder the Land of Celestial Suffering showed such blatant disrespect and took such a tough attitude towards our Beast Court! They are looking down on our Beast Court!”

 

Wearing a black and gold cloak with a Golden Crow embroidered on the sleeves, the Beast Court’s Seventh Crown Prince, Di Kun, transformed into his Human Form and stood on the Bloody Plateau. He stared at the brutal battle in front of him with an ugly expression, and his eyes flashed with cold intent.

 

Among the Nine Sons of the Beast Ancestor, he was the seventh in line. It was not a leading position. In addition, his Bloodline Talent was inferior to his Older Brothers. He was not as favoured as his Eighth Brother and Ninth Brother either. However, he was the most diligent and hardworking individual among the descendants. He was also the most assiduous at governing the country. Be that as it may, he could not gain the attention of the Beast Ancestor.

 

A large part of the reason why he approached his Ninth Brother, Di Wen, was to take the opportunity to catch the attention of the Beast Ancestor. In that regard, he certainly achieved great success. After he became close to Di Wen, he undoubtedly gained the attention of the Beast Ancestor that he never had before.

 

Unfortunately, Di Wen had been murdered. His Ninth Brother’s death might mean that he would return to his original state and gradually fade out from the Beast Ancestor’s sight. Therefore, he was very upset with the situation. Although he had the heart to become the Beast Overlord, he did not have the opportunity to display his abilities. It was not easy for him to finally create an opportunity for himself, but that glimmer of hope had disintegrated once more.

 

[Father is furious right now. The Land of Celestial Suffering has withdrawn, stubbornly refusing to hand over the murderer who killed my Little Brother. Meanwhile, the Beast Sovereigns are only pretending to obey our orders on the surface but have not made any effort to attack. As for my Older Brothers, they are mediocre and incompetent fools who rely solely on their Bloodline Talent. Despite having extraordinary talent, surpassing mine in certain cases, they have no idea how to wield those abilities efficiently. They too are afraid of the Land of Celestial Suffering. It is impossible to rely on them to avenge Di Wen.]

 

[But, this situation might be an opportunity for me.] His eyes flickered as various thoughts flashed through his mind.

 

He had to allow the Beast Ancestor to vent his rage and make the Land of Celestial Suffering pay the terrible price they deserved at the same time. In this way, he could stand out among his mediocre Brothers and gain more respect from his father. The reason he had been so eager to set off towards the Dragon Spirit Ancient Territory and obliterate the city was also partly due to these considerations.

 

Opposite the Bloody Plateau was another Ancient Territory belonging to the Land of Celestial Suffering. Countless experts had been stationed there to intimidate the Endless Beasts Territory from a distance, and among them were several Dao Realm experts who could rival Di Kun in strength.

 

Even though Di Kun had survived his  Sixth Decay Tribulation, he did not have the confidence to actually lead the Beast Race Army and conquer the lands opposite the Bloody Plateau.

 

“Indeed, this is an opportunity for you. If you seize this opportunity, you will definitely become the future Beast Overlord of the Beast Court…”

 

All of a sudden, a vague and unrecognisable voice sounded in his mind. The voice was as extensive as smoke, reaching far and wide. Furthermore, it was very calm. It was as though the voice would not be affected by emotional fluctuations.

 

“Who are you?” The statement stunned Di Kun for a moment. When he recovered from his astonishment, he whipped his head around to observe his surroundings. The expression on his face had changed dramatically.

 

Only an endless blood-red wind howled across the vast and boundless Bloody Plateau. From time to time, scattered corpses would roll across the ground and fall into the deep abyss without a single sound. If not for the fact that the voice had not only sounded very real but also resounded clearly in his mind, he would have wondered whether he had heard wrong.

 

Although he survived his Sixth Decay Tribulation and possessed the strength of one who had nearly reached the Ancestral Dao Realm, he could not determine the source of the voice. The voice seemed to have come from nowhere. There was neither fluctuation nor aura. In fact, he could not find any traces or directions leading to the source. It was almost as though… the voice had come from deep within his heart.

 

The realisation both amazed and frightened him.

 

“Who I am is not important. What’s important is that I can help you become the Beast Overlord.”

 

The flat and emotionless voice rang in his head again.

 

“Help me become the Beast Overlord?” His expression changed slightly as he forcefully suppressed the shock and horror in his eyes. He was now completely certain that the voice had come from the depths of his heart. Moreover, the voice seemed to know exactly what he was thinking.

 

“Don’t you want that?” The voice seemed to chuckle meaningfully. Although it was a chuckle, the voice did not reflect much emotional fluctuation either.

 

He could not help feeling scared for a moment. It had to be said that even his Father could not perform such feats. As a person who had survived the Sixth Decay Tribulation, he was perfectly capable of concealing his own destiny. Every thought or emotion he experienced was restricted to himself. So, how were his feelings captured and known by others?

 

He forcefully suppressed his horror and carefully composed himself. Then, he took a deep breath and asked, “How did you learn about the thoughts in my heart?”

 

“As long as you have desires, I will be able to hear them. I live in the hearts of all living creatures. There is nothing I cannot do.” The voice that answered remained calm and unemotional.
