Chapter 438: 253_1
Just as the half-step Saint Seat Demon Beast stepped into the small world, it went slack-jawed. Logan was in mid-air undergoing a Thunder Tribulation. Dark clouds swirled, emitting an invincible pressure. The terrifying aura made the demon beast feel like it was walking on pins and needles.
It appeared that after three months of cultivation, Logan had broken through and triggered a Thunder Tribulation. But why was there a Thunder Tribulation in the external Elixir as well? And if it struck down, the Supreme Treasure Elixir might be destroyed instantly.
What the demon beast couldn’t understand was why a mere Transcendent Tier breakthrough could trigger such a terrifying Thunder Tribulation? It had faced seven Thunder Tribulations in its life, but all combined, they didn’t account for even one percent of Logan’s. This Thunder Tribulation would be enough to annihilate even a Saint Seat, let alone Logan on his own.
However, after weathering the first five strikes shaking to his core, Logan wasn’t at all frightened. Under the Thunder Tribulation, it seemed like Logan was transcending. It was clear that after enduring such a Tribulation, he’d move freely in the Throne Realm after his breakthrough.
The half-step Saint Seat demon beast clearly knew the Thunder Tribulation was just getting started, and the end was nowhere in sight. It was concerned that if this continued, Logan’s falling in the Tribulation wouldn’t hurt. But, if the entire small world were to be destroyed in an instant, what then? The Demon Race’s Supreme Treasure would be lost forever.
Suddenly, a hint of a homicidal thought emerged. If it destroyed Logan now, the Thunder Tribulation would naturally dissipate, thus saving the entire small world. This also fits the Beast King’s order previously. But then it quickly shook its head. After all, Logan was the benefactor of the entire demon beast clan.
If it took such action, would it not be hideously ungrateful? Once this got out, the demon beast clan would definitely be ridiculed. It couldn’t harm its benefactor, in case Logan succeeded in his breakthrough, the small world might be preserved. After all, this space has endured for ten thousand years. Could it really be destroyed by this mere Thunder Tribulation?
Upon recalling its homicidal thought from earlier, it scolded itself. Previously, Logan risked his life to save the Beast King, single-handedly standing against the Heavenly Saint Daoist in an utterly hopeless situation. Now, on the verge of Logan’s breakthrough, it had such a thought, showing the significant gap between it and Logan.
Just as it was lamenting, Bart Cloud stood in front of it, a long sword pointed directly at him. The terrifying aura spread around, his eyes filled with cold intent, as if he was about to strike down that very moment.
“I sensed a hint of murderous intent, you intended harm towards Logan. First, you will have to face me. Even though I am only at the Throne realm and you are already half a step into the Saint realm, I am still willing to die for Logan today.”
The half-step Saint Seat demon beast didn’t get angry, instead feeling guilty and awkward: “You’ve misunderstood. I just came to have a look around. Beast King wants to know what’s happening here. As for the harmful intent, you must be mistaken. We have been through life and death together, so I would never be such an ungrateful villain.”
“Yeah, don’t make a big deal out of it, you’re probably just too nervous.” Lowen Shingo also chimed in, defending the half-step demon beast Saint Seat and tried to calm Bart Cloud down.
Bart Cloud shook his head, his gaze firm: “I can’t be mistaken. From a young age, I’ve constantly faced the threat of being hunted down by others. This has honed my ability to detect other’s homicidal intentions just by looking at them, thus determining whether they are enemies. I’m certain that it harbors ill-will towards Logan.”
Despite it being faint, even fleeting, Bart Cloud still captured it, thus, he couldn’t just stand by. Logan’s breakthrough can’t afford the slightest slip, what does a Saint realm matter? He was Logan’s guard, and should put Logan’s interests first and should not back down under threat by someone’s realm level.
“Fine, I’ll go and report back to Beast King, you two can relax, I will definitely not harm Logan. Bart Cloud, being vigilant is a good thing, after all, in only three days you cannot fully understand someone’s heart.”
The half-step people Saint Seat demon beast didn’t have any other choice but to back down to avoid conflict with Bart Cloud. Bart Cloud finally relaxed, but he kept a close eye on it.
The minute the half-step Saint Seat demon beast left, Lowen Shingo started complaining, he thought Bart Cloud was out of line. He had clearly offended the beast, what if it went back and exaggerated the incident to Beast King? It could spell disaster for their party.
Bart Cloud did not respond, his gaze remained vigilant. He was aware of his position. His life was given by Logan, so he was far from being just an ordinary guard; he was the most loyal of all the royal guards.
Once back, the half-step Saint Seat demon beast immediately reported: “King, it’s Logan who is making a breakthrough in the small world, triggering the Thunder Tribulation. He’s not intentionally causing destruction, so there’s no need to worry. The Thunder Tribulation can last a maximum of 15 minutes, and Lowen Shingo and the others are just watching from the side.”
“Are you sure?” The Beast King couldn’t believe what he heard. Could a mere Transcendent Tier breakthrough cause such a massive Thunder Tribulation? When he reached the Saint Seat realm, the spectacle wasn’t this great, it didn’t make any sense.
If things kept going at this rate, in no time, perhaps the entire Elixir would be destroyed in an instant. The power of Thunder Tribulation could destroy anything in the world, even the Demon Race’s Supreme Treasure would be no exception. Especially the terrifying 81 Great Tribulations, which included eighty-one Divine Thunders.
Seeing the skepticism on Beast King’s face, the half-step Saint Seat demon beast quickly continued: “I have not told a single lie. King, I hope you understand that if Logan had any malicious intentions, I would have killed them a long time ago. As a matter of fact, he is in the middle of breaking through his realm, that’s why I came out to inform you.”
“Regardless of whether Logan’s breakthrough is genuine or a farce, the Supreme Treasure of our demon beast clan cannot endure even the slightest mistake. You must understand the consequences, right? So, you go in and eliminate everyone including Logan. That way, the Thunder Tribulation will naturally dissipate and the Elixir will be saved. And don’t worry, the accusations will not get out.”
Beast King considered for a moment, his eyes flashed fiercely and gave the order to the half-step Saint Seat demon beast. On receiving the order, the beast was stunned. In a moment, it didn’t know what to say. After all, Logan was the benefactor of the demon beast clan. Wouldn’t this mean being ungrateful?
At the time when Beast King had fallen into a deep sleep and faced the arrival of the Heavenly Saint Daoist, if it wasn’t for Logan risking his life to protect him, Beast King would have been in Hell by now. They clearly knew the significance of Logan’s favor. But now, while Logan was breaking through, rather than helping him, they were trying to seize the opportunity to have him and his party perish?
Seeing the hesitation of the half-step Saint Seat demon beast, the Beast King sighed: “We must be ruthless. This concerns the future of the Demon Beast Clan. I’ll remember his favor, but after all, protecting the Elixir is more critical. This Elixir is the lifeblood of all previous Beast King’s, and it must not perish in my hands, have you understood?”
“Beast King, please reconsider.” The half-step Saint Seat demon beast pleaded. There is always room for discussing matters before taking fatal steps.
