The Corruption Dragon God: Lust System Chapter 712 - Another frustrated cuckold?
Previously on The Corruption Dragon God: Lust System...
The Sect of the Myriad Beasts presented a truly distinctive environment.
A congregation of divine and mythical beasts, alongside any creature possessing sentience and the capacity for complex thought, found refuge there, irrespective of their ability to assume human form.
This unique sect was established on a planet teeming with tropical life, encompassing four varied biomes: arctic, arid, forested, and aquatic. Each of these zones served as the domain for a specific category of beast disciples.
All these elements naturally converged around the Palace of the Ten Thousand Beasts, the official dwelling of the sect's leader. From this central point, a sinuous pathway descended into the somber Valley of Eternal Death, the resting place of the sect's formidable ancestor, a colossal bear.
The instant Qingyi emerged from the frigid confines of the ship, a wave of tropical air rushed past, rustling his long black hair. It carried with it the briny tang of the ocean and the faint echoes of unfamiliar creatures.
His gaze swept over the myriad pavilions that ascended around him, their roofs shimmering brilliantly under the vibrant tropical sun.
It was a place of remarkable tranquility, stirring a familiar sensation within him, reminiscent of his arrival in the land of the cat-people, a memory from the immortal heavens.
Qingyi, naturally, had not relinquished his desire to reunite with his cherished companions from that past realm.
He yearned for that reunion to occur sooner rather than later, but to achieve this, his focus had to be unwavering, centered on a single objective: accumulating lust points.
"Brother Qingyi, look! Bai Hu Lie is approaching!" Rou'er exclaimed with evident delight, pointing towards the colossal tiger visible in the distance.
Bai Hu Lie, as always, possessed an intimidating presence.
This was especially true now, following his advancement to the Celestial Origin Realm and his brutal awakening of his bloodline, achieved by eliminating all his male kin.
His razor-sharp claws bore fresh crimson stains, and his powerful chest was encased in black leather combat armor that clung to his physique.
He bore the appearance of someone fresh from a strenuous battle, his breathing labored and ragged, wisps of hot steam escaping his maw with each expulsion of air.
Acknowledging Rou'er's wave, the tiger offered a grin, revealing rows of formidable fangs.
His immense frame—a powerhouse of over three hundred kilograms of pure muscle, his imposing stature noticeable even beside Qingyi—moved swiftly towards them.
"I shall leave the two of you for your private moment. Come, Rou'er, we must locate the leader of the Myriad Beasts Sect," declared the leader of the Cosmic Dawn Sect, gesturing for her to accompany him.
Rou'er displayed a slight pout, but being accustomed to her role as the sect's cherished princess, she dutifully followed, accompanied by Rouxi and a contingent of elders.
Now alone, Qingyi began walking towards Bai Hu Lie.
"Qingyi, dear brother-in-law!" Bai Hu Lie bellowed with unrestrained enthusiasm, enveloping Qingyi in a vice-like embrace that threatened to crack bones, unconcerned about the bloodstains on his attire.
"It warms my heart to have you here! Come, come! I shall escort you to my personal arena, hahaha!"
Qingyi responded with a simple nod, extricating himself from the tiger's powerful grip and offering a firm handshake to the mighty beast.
The very ground beneath their feet fractured, fine networks of fissures radiating outward. The sheer force of their physical strength caused many of the less robust observers to falter and retreat.
Numerous sects had converged at this location, and consequently, a great many disciples were present. For them, the mere sight of Qingyi and Bai Hu Lie standing side-by-side was sufficient to send tremors of apprehension down their spines.
Despite both individuals being in the nascent stages of the Celestial Origin Realm, no one dared to question their undisputed supremacy within that cultivation tier.
Confident in each other's formidable power, they exchanged knowing smiles and proceeded together through the sprawling pavilions.
"You would be wise to exercise caution regarding that scoundrel Feng Wuji," Bai Hu Lie advised, his voice tinged with palpable disdain. "He harbored an intense infatuation with my sister and was willing to relinquish significant resources in a futile attempt to claim her hand."
"Ah… another rejected suitor, consumed by envy?" Qingyi chuckled heartily. "We dealt with the Guo brothers, and now another one emerges promptly, practically begging for a harsh lesson."
"Hahaha, precisely. It would be opportune if he initiated hostilities against you. That would provide you with ample justification to crush him utterly. Alas, Feng Wuji possesses sufficient cunning to await the commencement of the tournament before provoking a confrontation. He is likely at this very moment prostrating himself at my younger sister's feet."
Bai Hu Lie cast his gaze towards the distant horizon, his golden eyes fixed intently on his father's grand palace. Without hesitation, he gestured for Qingyi to follow his lead.
The striking young dragon harbored no significant apprehension regarding Feng Wuji.
He had already received intelligence concerning this individual, a disciple hailing from the most preeminent sword sect in the entirety of the central region.
Given Feng Wuji's possession of a potent Eternal-grade draconic bloodline and his cultivation reaching the zenith of the Celestial Origin Realm, Qingyi felt a flicker of curiosity to gauge his prowess, but nothing beyond that.
Walking in tandem with Bai Hu Lie, he traversed the grounds of the Myriad Beasts Sect, observing the incredibly diverse array of creatures, many exhibiting varying degrees of humanoid characteristics.
Some, much like Bai Hu Lie himself, adopted a bipedal stance while retaining pronounced aspects of their original beastly forms.
The others were, for the most part, savage beasts, their human intelligence hidden behind frenzied eyes.
After walking for a few more minutes, they finally reached the Sect Leader's grand palace. Upon arrival, Bai Hu Lie guided Qingyi towards the main arena first.
Initially, the guards attempted to bar their path, as the arena was undergoing renovations and preparation for the upcoming tournament. However, the instant they recognized Bai Hu Lie, they trembled and swiftly parted to allow passage.
"Brother Qingyi, look," Bai Hu Lie declared, spreading his arms wide as they emerged onto the spectator stands.
He gestured towards the arena, an expanse covering over ten square kilometers, reinforced with formations potent enough to endure conflicts between star lords.
"This shall be our battleground. Before an audience of a million, we will shed blood and pursue adversaries of unparalleled power and renown!" Bai Hu Lie announced proudly, puffing out his chest.
"You, my sworn brother and soon-to-be brother-in-law, must prepare to meet me in the finals, hahaha! None of those insignificant humans stand a chance against us."
Qingyi offered a nod, a smile gracing his lips at Bai Hu Lie's palpable confidence and spirited enthusiasm.
He could distinctly feel the tiger's eagerness for the impending bloodshed, but regrettably, a wait was necessary.
The tournament was still a considerable time away from commencing.
