359: Open the key to the emperor and lick his wounds!

Ocean Clan.

Inside the central high tower.

"How is the tower opening?"

The Fish-human Queen asked her subordinates.

"The situation is in our favor. We're about to break through the 10th floor's defenses and obtain the divine fruit!"

That Ocean Clan member looked up, observing the Queen's expression.

Unexpectedly, she showed no sign of happiness.

"Hmm, increase your efforts and go capture more Beast Tamer!" the Fish-human Queen commanded.

What divine fruit... it wasn't important at all.

She came here only to get the key!

That was the true inheritance of Dragon Continent, the key to her advancement to Emperor-level!

"Queen... an Ocean Clan member reported that those human Beast Tamer seem to be allying with the Alien Race!"

"It doesn't matter."

The Fish-human Queen waved her hand.

Just a bunch of rabble.

"As long as I don't use the power of the King Late Stage, relying on the limits of Monarch Mid-stage... and Mastery Level king-level skills, who in Monarch Mid-stage can do anything to me?"

It could be said that she was invincible among Monarch Mid-stage cultivators!

But after thinking for a moment.

She then ordered, "Go, have them guard the central high tower and recall all Ocean Clan members."

"Yes!"

The Ocean Clan member quickly turned and left.

Only then did a human male approach her.

"Those resources are irrelevant and will be taken away sooner or later. The key is still the key!"

"What is the purpose of that key?" the Fish-human Queen asked, her pupils slightly contracted.

"The key is naturally to unlock something. Once unlocked, your advancement to Emperor-level will be a matter of course."

That human male was only in his early teens.

Between his eyebrows, there was a hint of sinister aura.

"Don't worry, I've established a mental connection with you; I won't lie to you!"

"Back then, Dragon Continent produced countless Emperor-level powerhouses, but now their numbers are scarce, and even those Emperor-level ones are old-timers from Dragon Continent. Don't you want to know why?"

The human male coaxed.

"That's because they are competing for something, and that something can only be opened with the key."

Upon hearing this.

The Fish-human Queen's heart pounded wildly.

That's right, their near-sea Royal family also had an Emperor-level existence!

And that Emperor-level existence was also born in Dragon Continent!

"Good, I will do my best to break through the tower's defenses!"

"Once I get the key..."

She yearned to advance to Emperor-level.

Trapped in the King Late Stage, even changing her bloodline couldn't allow her to advance.

But now, there was a resource that even Emperor Beast Masters were vying for, igniting a glimmer of hope in her heart!

...

"Fang Ran... Fang Ran... Fang Ran."

Woken by a clear and pleasant voice.

Fang Ran opened his eyes. Before him was Xiao Tian's flawless, indifferent face, and on him was her slightly heavy delicate body.

"Tell me, who did you go looking for last night?"

Xiao Tian's tone was flat, yet it sent a chill down Fang Ran's spine.

She ignored Fang Ran's words, instead frowning, her eyes glowing with faint golden light, as if observing whether he was lying.

"You and Xiao Nian needed to train your skills, so I could only let Green Snake protect me."

"Protect you? It?"

Xiao Tian's expression softened slightly, then quickly turned cold again, saying, "Next time, just come to me. I'll protect you."

"You want to..."

"Train? It doesn't conflict. You can move a bed and sleep next to me."

"Too noisy."

"Not noisy. Just treat it as white noise, or wear earplugs."

Fang Ran felt a pain in his arm.

His gaze shifted to both sides, where those fair hands were tightly pressing his arms.

It seemed that if he said one wrong word, Fang Ran would immediately become empty-handed.

"Alright, I'll sleep with you."

"Not sleeping, it's protecting you," Xiao Tian emphasized with a frown.

"Mm-hmm, protecting me."

Seeing Fang Ran's meaningful smile, Xiao Tian was flustered for a moment.

She then quickly composed herself, propping up her left leg to get off Fang Ran.

Fang Ran grabbed her fair, plump leg and pulled her back.

"I'm injured."

Watching Xiao Tian's golden pupils scan him in surprise, Fang Ran added with a serious face, "Didn't you see it's swollen? It's all because you were pressing on me. You have to take responsibility."

Fang Ran seemed to be lost in thought, saying, "I heard that animals will continuously lick their wounds until their saliva heals the swelling."

Looking at Xiao Tian's confused expression as her brain rapidly processed the information.

Fang Ran could only grab her divine halo. She was pulled to where she should be, as if someone had grabbed her hair.

...

After a long while.

Fang Ran looked exhausted.

"There's no helping it, Fang Ran. Beast Taming is like this. You have to discipline them from time to time, otherwise, they'll take advantage. A little education and they'll be bowing and scraping."

However, Xiao Tian was indeed a King-level fierce beast.

The healing effect of her saliva was several times stronger than that of unintelligent animals, and with persistence, the swelling quickly subsided.

"Leader Fang! The resources sent by the human Beast Tamer have arrived!"

"Good! Xiao Tian, come with me to take a look."

"Hmm..." Xiao Tian nodded, her expression grim, feeling her tongue a bit numb.

After a long while.

Fang Ran arrived at the warehouse.

Large quantities of resources were piled up, all of great value.

"The Beast Tamer have also plundered many resources and holy crystals. These are enough for Xiao Tian to replenish her training consumption."

Fang Ran's eyes gleamed.

"However, I still need to prepare genetic points to increase Xiao Tian's skill proficiency, at least to Mastery Level!"

Xiao Tian's king-level skills would be fully trained in no time.

After all, her Holy Power was immense, and with replenishment, her training speed was incredibly fast!

"Take Xiao Nian and Green Snake to deal with the Ocean Clan and hunt the fierce beasts wandering in the city!"

Under Dragon Continent, nearly ten days passed.

Fang Ran had accumulated enough genetic points.

And at this time, Xiao Tian's skill progress reached its limit!

[Wield the God-Slaying Blade, release divine light (100/100) times!]

"Advance the proficiency of God-Slaying Blade!"

[Consume 10000 genetic points, obtain God-Slaying Blade - King-level (Mastery)!]

[God-Slaying Blade - King-level (Mastery): Forge a divine sword of judgment with holy fire, incredibly sharp, but consumes a huge amount of Holy Power!]

[Remaining debt: Use God-Slaying Blade in holy fire state (0/24) hours!]

"Boom! !"

Xiao Tian condensed the God-Slaying Blade.

A giant sword, formed from a combination of previous weapons, appeared!

"Holy Fire!" She injected Holy Power to activate it!

The God-Slaying Blade ignited with fierce holy fire, consuming Xiao Tian's Holy Power like a pump!

She swung the God-Slaying Blade, and a wave of holy fire flew out, cutting through a large section of forest, reaching far into the depths!

"It consumes too much Holy Power!"

Xiao Tian quickly deactivated the skill.

It carried a portion of the effectiveness of all her previous weapons!

For example, that light wave had a partial tracking effect, and the weapon also had the ability to burn evil spirits' souls!

"That's good enough. With your current level, dealing with Monarch Mid-stage should be a piece of cake, right?"

"More or less." Xiao Tian's face showed a hint of joy, greatly enjoying the feeling of power.

A few hours later, the United States sent a message via Novich.

"The tenth floor is about to be opened, and that divine fruit is about to appear!"

"Divine fruit? Do you want me to act now?"

Fang Ran asked.

"No need. Mick and the others will help you clear the obstacles. You deal with the Ocean Clan's leader."

Novich added, "Just lure her away. Jack and the others will handle the other fierce beasts in the high tower!"

Then, Novich seemed to have some reservations, saying, "How confident are you? That Ocean Clan leader might be much stronger than you think!"

This was not alarmist talk; many of them didn't think Fang Ran would win.

Their plan was just to temporarily lure her away and then reap the benefits later!
