Chapter 439: 254_1
“My mind is made up. Just carry it out. In gratification for my benevolent deeds, you hesitate to act. But you must also consider the millions of demon beasts in the mountains range. Once the Supreme Treasure is gone, and the fate of the beasts has declined, everyone will suffer.”
With a fiery gaze, the Beast King looked at the Half-step Saint Seat Demon Beast. His words urged the other to consider the bigger picture and not let personal feelings cloud their judgment. The interests of the demon beast race must come first. Even if Logan only saved them once, even if he saved them hundreds of times, it would still be the same.
I can’t go in, because no one will guard the inner alchemy. It might be stolen by the Heavenly Saint Daoist in secret. So, this heavy responsibility can only be entrusted to it. The Half-step Saint Seat Demon Beast is someone it trusts the most and hope it won’t let him down. It should not betray the interests of the demon beast race.
The Half-step Saint Seat Demon Beast felt uncomfortable, and finally asked, “Beast King, human cultivators have always looked down upon us, considering us as uncultured and devoid of basic manners and integrity. Are we really just like this? Killing someone who has been good to us?”
“I would bear all the blame. For the development of the demon beast race, for a higher level in the path of cultivation, all these are just minor drawbacks. Moreover, we have been trapped in this small mountain range for a long time, it’s time for us to venture out. But without the inner alchemy, we will lose our greatest support.”
The Beast King spoke out firmly, urging the Half-step Saint Seat Demon Beast to stop hesitating. There isn’t much time left because at this moment, the sky outside is rolling with thunderclouds. The Divine Thunder could fall at any time, and this divine thunderstorm will certainly fall on the Inner Alchemy. The next moment, the Inner Alchemy might shatter.
The idea of driving away the Thunder Tribulation proposed by him is naive. Even if I have reached the Saint Seat, it is insignificant under the Thunder Tribulation. The Thunder Tribulation is the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao. No cultivator can compare, even if they have finally ascended to immortality.
The Half-step Saint Seat Demon Beast did not ask any more questions, but went back to the Inner Alchemy once again. At this moment, Logan had endured more than half of the thunderstorm. There were originally ninety-nine divine thunders remaining, but now there are only thirty left. However, Logan was already struggling on the brink, his injuries are unbearable to look at.
Lowen Shingo sighed emotionally, admiring, “This kind of training is too scary. However, once the Throne Realm is reached, the power will skyrocket. Even if we are both in the Throne Realm, the gap between Logan and me is ten thousand times. Because Logan has tempered himself through trials of blood and fire, we are incomparable.”
Worry filled Bart Cloud’s face, but he was powerless to help. Because once he helps to bear the Thunder Tribulation, it will certainly become more terrible, thus putting Logan in danger. So now he can only pray silently, hoping that Logan can persevere through this transformation.
Seeing the Half-step Saint Seat appear again, his guard was up: “Back again? Friend or foe? What was the Beast King’s reply? Did he ask you to help Logan or try to kill him as you did before?”
The Half-step Saint Seat Demon Beast’s gaze was cold and heavy. He didn’t know how to respond to Bart Cloud. The Beast King had ordered him to take action, but he didn’t even dare to look at Bart Cloud and the others. Especially when Bart Cloud asked this question, he was rendered speechless and fell silent.
“It is an enemy.” Lowen Shingo took a deep breath. Despite his previous belief, he now saw through everything. The heavy-heartedness of the Half-step Saint Seat Demon Beast surely meant that the Beast King had issued some difficult execution order. It has to be an order to commit murder, otherwise, it wouldn’t have ended up so embarrassing.
“I’m sorry, for the sake of the Demon Beast Race.” The Half-step Saint Seat Demon Beast finally spoke, and a Law Divine Power began to form in the air. His gaze turned completely cold. At that point, he did not want to explain too much, he just wanted to quickly execute the Beast King’s order and eliminate a few people, so the inner alchemy would not be subjected to the Thunder Tribulation.
Bart Cloud did not back down an inch, pulling out his long sword, “Indeed, I disagreed with Logan helping you Demon Beasts before. You are ultimately different from us humans; you don’t understand gratitude. Did you become jealous of Logan’s breakthrough and wanted to nip everything in the bud?”
“Hold on, I just want to ask one thing, why?” Lowen Shingo was extremely puzzled. If the Beast King had murderous intentions, it could have breached the contract before. Why did it let a few people come to the small world inside the Inner Alchemy for cultivation? Isn’t that superfluous?”
“Because the Thunder Tribulation of Logan’s breakthrough is too strong, it might destroy the Supreme Treasure Elixir, so, just in case, I have to take action. I shouldn’t have said this, but since you are benefactors, I want you to understand.”
The Half-step Saint Seat Demon Beast hesitated, but replied. This made Lowen Shingo clear, and there was no more room for maneuver. Because they can’t interrupt Logan’s tribulation. Once Logan’s tribulation is interrupted, Logan will definitely suffer a great backlash and will surely fall.
Lowen Shingo’s eyes were clear, and he said to Bart Cloud, “I told you before, Logan saved my life before, so I didn’t have to die in the devouring of millions of beasts. So, I will definitely return this favor. Let’s fight it together, every moment we buy is precious. We hope Logan breaks through quickly.”
We are different from the Beast Race, we understand gratitude. Even if it leads to my downfall, it doesn’t matter. Even if the enemy is a half-step to the Saint Seat, a thousand times stronger than me. From childhood to adulthood, my father always taught me to be upright.
“Why bother?” The Half-step Saint Seat Demon Beast was puzzled. “You can leave, I don’t want to involve more people. Killing Logan is enough, Logan is the source of tribulation, why would you risk your lives for an imaginary friendship? In the end, you won’t change the established ending.”
Both of them shook their heads, not wanting to waste time talking. Instead, they stood to the left and right of the Half-step Saint Seat Demon Beast to prevent it from attacking Logan. This was the only thing they could do. Both of them, like the entrance realm, were clear that even if they went all out, they would not be able to defeat the Half-step Saint Seat.
A murderous intent flashed in the eyes of the Half-step Saint Seat Demon Beast, and the hardened Divine Skill was cast out. The attack directly hit Lowen Shingo. Lowen Shingo was thrown back a hundred meters in an instant. His body was like scattered ashes. He struggled to come back but was powerless.
Logan, hanging in the sky, was also struggling for life. He didn’t know how much longer he could withstand the Divine Thunder. At this moment, he saw everything that happened on the ground. He was slightly surprised for a moment, and then realized, it must be that the Beast King had sent them. He had caused too much chaos, and the Beast King’s tribe did not want to take any risks.
But he was on the verge of death, and he was also undergoing his tribulation. How could he save Bart Cloud and the others? He could not just let his companions die. At that moment he felt despair, even more helpless than when facing dozens of divine thunders. His companions fell because of him, yet he was helpless.
With all his strength, Logan roared, “All of you, come at me! Don’t make it difficult for Lowen Shingo and Bart Cloud. You, Beast King, betrayed me. I don’t care. But I don’t want my companions to get hurt. If you still have a shred of conscience and remember the favor of saving your life.”
