“Du Lan, what’s the matter?” Great Demon Lord Baruth looked at his right-hand man with slight astonishment.
“Your Majesty Demon Lord, the sealing crystal pillars have shattered, we must immediately redo the seal now… I mean, we’ve almost exhausted the entire country’s power to catch that unknown holy beast in Tong Tian Tower’s seventh floor. It has awakened, and its power has shattered the sealing crystal pillars,” The Demon Commander named Du Lan hurriedly reported.
“Has it not been sleeping for the past three hundred years?” As Great Demon Lord Baruth heard this, his headache grew worse. That unknown holy beast’s power was extremely high, and nobody was able to contract with it. It was dangerous to keep it, yet it would be a pity if it was released. He really did not know what the best course of action to take was.
“Yes, it was sleeping quietly in the sealed barrier for 300 years. However, it suddenly reacted today and woke up from its deep sleep on its own. When it woke up, it immediately started to howl towards the southeast. It was as if something had awoken it from that direction, or perhaps it was calling for help from its companions. I did not understand what it was trying to do, and could only increase the power of the seal, forcing it to go back into a deep sleep… Although that unknown holy beast had gone back to sleep again, our sealing spell has reached its limits. Six out of the ten crystal pillars have already shattered.” Demon Commander Du Lan explained the situation, worried to death.
“The southeastern direction? Send some men to investigate and see what there is to our southeast.” But the Demon Commander Du Lan shook his head the moment Great Demon Lord Baruth spoke.
“There’s no need to investigate. Your Highness Demon Lord, aside from a dozen or so human warriors disturbing us at the portal by counterattacking, nothing else has happened. Those that were transferred over here from the space in Tong Tian Tower were no-name human warriors. Aside from a human lady called Luo Hua who has some reputation, the others were all human kids. I don’t think that those people would have the power to awaken or contract with the holy beast. If they wanted to contract with Holy beasts or Mythical Beasts, they would first have to have a Divine Grimoire… Not only that, the distance between us and that place is far too great.” Although Demon Commander Du Lan could not figure out the reason why the holy beast awoke, he did not feel that the counterattack initiated by the humans was the reason why the holy beast had awakened.
“Then, why did it happen?” Great Demon Lord Baruth also felt puzzled by this, and habitually raised his eyebrows.
Battlefield of Death (Seph: Scene shifting to Yue Yang)
(Shiro: The place where Yue Yang had been battling with the Demon General is called Battlefield of Death. Sorry we didn’t realise it’s a term, we thought it was just a descriptive phrase when it first come out)
When Yue Yang woke up, he found a grimoire shining with a rainbow light floating silently in front of him. It was as brilliant as a diamond and as sparkling as a flawless crystal. It was so perfect that it would cause people to gasp in admiration.
“Divine Grimoire?” Yue Yang was astounded when he saw what was written on the cover.
From his knowledge, there were only Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum and Diamond grimoires, a total of five kinds. He had never heard anything about a Divine Grimoire.
In truth, the highest level summoning grimoire that he had ever seen was Xiao Wen Li’s diamond grimoire.
And the grimoire that he had just contracted was originally a Silver-ranked Intermediate grimoire which dropped in level to become a Bronze-ranked Beginner grimoire. How had it suddenly become a Beginner Divine Grimoire? What the heck is a Divine Grimoire anyway? At this time, a scene suddenly flashed within Yue Yang’s mind. Before Empress Fei Wen Li fell asleep, she had once conjured a huge summoning grimoire. It was faintly similar to the Divine Grimoire that he possessed now, but that book had been a few times larger than this book.
Could it be that in the realm of the strongest, those Rankers that had reached the summit, used a Divine Grimoire rather than the normal Bronze, Silver etc Grimoires?
Yue Yang had an extremely shocked, disbelieving expression as he continued to observe his own Divine Grimoire… It was a full one metre long, and half a metre wide. The book was thick and probably had a few dozen of pages. Regardless of whether it was the cover or the details, they were all decorated with a beautiful yet mysterious runic designs.
These runic designs were complicated, profound, and mysterious; it was as if it was the workmanship of a god.
For a moment, it caused Yue Yang to be intoxicated…
He firmly pinched himself. He was not dreaming. All of a sudden, his pulse quickened to around 300 bpm, almost causing his blood vessels to burst.
With a flash of a rainbow light, Xiao Wen Li floated out of Yue
