294: Kill the Beast

After arranging everything, Xun Xiuyuan brought Zhuge Lun to the Great World of Strange Beasts.

Zhuge Lun was very clear about Xun Xiuyuan's purpose in bringing him along; he was the first Vice Hall Master of the War God Hall, and his Foster Father Ling Tian had been conspired against and killed by the Great World of Strange Beasts and the Zhu Xie Alliance.

Xun Xiuyuan had come for revenge, and he was there to bear witness.

The Great World of Strange Beasts' camp covered a vast area, not just the end of a single canyon.

The dozen or so Great Worlds surrounding the Great World of Strange Beasts had all been occupied by them; these Great Worlds had long been slave Worlds to the Great World of Strange Beasts.

Xun Xiuyuan's arrival was quite high-profile because the Great Desolate World had notified these slave Worlds before he came.

Therefore, Xun Xiuyuan and Zhuge Lun did not go directly to the Great World of Strange Beasts but instead arrived at one of its slave Worlds.

This Great World was called the Jade Light Great World, and its World Lord was a Super God King.

Although they arrived at the Jade Light Great World, the World Lord who greeted Xun Xiuyuan there was not just one, but rather all the World Lords from the dozen or so slave Worlds had come.

Upon seeing Xun Xiuyuan, these dozen World Lords knelt and prostrated themselves without hesitation.

The reputation of the Southern Great Desolate World had already resounded throughout the Extraterritorial Battlefield, and they were aware of Xun Xiuyuan's formidable power.

Since Xun Xiuyuan's return, the God Kings of the Great World of Strange Beasts stationed in their Great Worlds had all withdrawn, and all the so-called dozen slave Worlds had regained their freedom.

Therefore, their gratitude towards Xun Xiuyuan was self-evident.

Seeing their attitude, Xun Xiuyuan merely smiled faintly and said, "Rise, there's no need for this."

The World Lord of the Jade Light Great World spoke, "World Lord Xun, you do not know, during the hundreds of years the Great World of Strange Beasts enslaved my Jade Light Great World, the number of our clansmen used as food alone reached tens of billions. If not for the sake of my clan, I would have long since self-destructed and perished with the World."

As soon as he spoke, the World Lords of the other Great Worlds chimed in, all recounting the atrocities committed by the Great World of Strange Beasts.

Zhuge Lun then spoke, "Our World Lord plans to establish an alliance called the Heavenly Palace Alliance. As long as a certain fee is paid, everyone will receive the protection of the Heavenly Palace Alliance. Of course, all powerhouses above the God King Realm in all Great Worlds must obey the unified command of the Heavenly Palace Alliance. As for the internal development of the Great Worlds, the Heavenly Palace will not interfere."

As soon as Zhuge Lun's words were out, all the World Lords were overjoyed and asked, "We don't have to forcibly surrender mineral resources within our Great World? Nor do we have to provide a base population?"

Zhuge Lun did not speak but merely looked at Xun Xiuyuan.

Xun Xiuyuan smiled and said, "None of that is necessary. My goal is to unite everyone to resist those Great Worlds with heinous crimes, not to exploit you. As for paying fees, that is unavoidable. The deployment of armies and the construction of camps all require spiritual materials. We can't expect the Great Desolate World to bear all the costs, can we?"

After Xun Xiuyuan finished speaking, he did not demand that the World Lords of those Great Worlds agree immediately, and continued, "For the detailed policies of this matter, you should discuss them with Palace Master Zhuge in the Great Desolate World. There's no need to rush. Even if you don't join, I won't do anything to you, so rest assured."

Finally, before Xun Xiuyuan left, he said, "I am going to the Great World of Strange Beasts. Senior Brother, please wait here."

As his voice faded, Xun Xiuyuan had already vanished.

Xun Xiuyuan's teleportation speed was extremely fast; in a few breaths, he arrived at the canyon of the Great World of Strange Beasts.

The defenses here were impenetrable, but Shou Guang, with his three heads and six arms, did not retreat.

Seeing Xun Xiuyuan standing in the void, Shou Guang also flew forward and said, "World Lord Xun! I wish to offer compensation in exchange for my life. I wonder if that is possible?"

The Initial Saint Shou Guang, with his three heads and six arms, had a very humble attitude.

He knew that if Xun Xiuyuan wished, killing him and destroying the entire Great World of Strange Beasts would not take long.

Xun Xiuyuan shook his head and said, "It is rumored that the Great World of Strange Beasts has a True Saint overseeing it. Why doesn't he come out?"

Shou Guang also had a bitter expression, "Senior Ape God was summoned by the Yuan Ling Sect and has already gone to the Yuan Ling Sect."

Xun Xiuyuan nodded and said, "These schemes, targeting my Master Ling Tian and massacring the human race in the Initial Domain, were all your doing alone?"

Shou Guang understood Xun Xiuyuan's meaning; there would be no peaceful resolution.

Thinking of the Ape God's brutality, Shou Guang pondered for a long time and said, "It was all my doing alone."

Xun Xiuyuan unhesitatingly summoned the Ling Tian Pagoda, which floated beside him: "Was it all for her?"

Shou Guang finally saw the Ling Tian Pagoda again. At this moment, the Ling Tian Pagoda looked much better than before. Back then, the Ling Tian Pagoda was mottled and dilapidated, but now it was ancient and grand, no longer showing its former decay.

The Great World of Strange Beasts was located in the southeastern part of the Extraterritorial Battlefield, midway between the Blazing Sun Great World and the Great Desolate World.

Xun Xiuyuan's high-profile revenge naturally attracted many spectators.

Among them were Xia Yu, the City Lord of Jing City, and some Initial Saints from the Blazing Sun Great World, including Patriarch Pan Chen of the Pan Family.

Shou Guang looked at the Ling Tian Pagoda and finally sighed, saying, "If I had obtained this Ling Tian Pagoda back then, my strength would definitely be more than this now."

Xun Xiuyuan looked around and smiled, "The Ling Tian Pagoda is with me, Xun Xiuyuan. Anyone who needs it can come. If anyone targets the Great Desolate World again, then the Great World of Strange Beasts will be an example."

After speaking, Xun Xiuyuan stopped procrastinating. The power of the World instantly covered the entire vast military camp of the Great World of Strange Beasts.

Shou Guang said in horror, "World Lord Xun, I am willing to surrender. Please do not target the warriors of the Great World of Strange Beasts. As long as I die, the Great World of Strange Beasts will have no Saints, posing no threat to your Great Desolate World."

Xun Xiuyuan sneered, "What kind of pipe dream are you having? If you don't cut the weeds by the roots, they will grow back with the spring breeze."

After speaking, Xun Xiuyuan's three Soul Pierces directly took Shou Guang's life, and then Dream of a Thousand Years began harvesting the lives of all the warriors of the Great World of Strange Beasts below.

There were more than a million warriors below. This Shou Guang really trusted himself, thinking that he would not act against these low-level warriors.

If he didn't act, where would his exotic beast value come from?

As soon as the exotic beast value approached one trillion, Xun Xiuyuan would add all of it to his mental power. Anyway, he didn't need to advance to God King for now.

The exotic beast value always remained at 999 trillion, ready to advance at any time if a special situation arose.

By the time Xun Xiuyuan cleared out the great canyon of the Great World of Strange Beasts, Xun Xiuyuan's mental power had already reached sixty million.

Zhuge Lun did not wait in place but came with all the World Lords to the canyon of the Great World of Strange Beasts, saw the death of Shou Guang with his three heads and six arms, and then witnessed Xun Xiuyuan's massacre, thinking of his Foster Father and finally shedding tears.

Xun Xiuyuan finally stood in the air and said to the canyon below, "You dozen or so Worlds have been enslaved by the Great World of Strange Beasts for hundreds, some even thousands of years. Now, I permit you to act as subordinate forces of my Great Desolate World and launch an expedition against the Great World of Strange Beasts."

The group of World Lords around Zhuge Lun all accepted the command and immediately arranged a plan for the expedition against the Great World of Strange Beasts.
