Chapter 959: Chapter 959
After the underground passage was opened, it became much easier and safer to return to the Capital. For safety reasons, Du You didn’t reside in his own city but chose to return to his dwelling in the Capital.
Similarly, it was easier for him to search for things in the academy and to acquire news about different worlds and various resources. His recently established city was still lacking in several aspects.
As for entering the city, it was too easy. The city administrator could directly notify him. And if he wanted to go there, he could first enter his territory and then reach it through the passage. The return was troublesome, but the time spent traveling there wasn’t much.
On his way home, Du You hadn’t even set out when he received a great item.
It turned out that in the Giant world, where the Night Giants originally resided, a vein of dark ore was discovered, yielding a tier-four Dark Element Stone. This item was useless to others, but he had been seeking it all along.
So when Li Minglu found it, he bought it immediately. The ability of his subordinates to gather resources gave Du You a taste of their efficiency for the first time. If he had been searching on his own, who knows when he would have found it.
Having acquired the tier-four Dark Element Stone, it meant that he could create another special pet that belonged only to him.
Each of his pets played a huge role, and every Summoned Beast could exhibit immense power. If it weren’t for the fact that they hadn’t advanced yet, these Summoned Creatures might be even more formidable than himself.
After securing the Dark Element Stone, Du You then took out the purchased coordinates. "It’s really interesting, every Giant Beast world’s coordinates seem to be made of bones." In his hands, the skull of some creature glimmered.
Without any delay, Du You activated it, and the space passage immediately sucked in the three of them. He used to be cautious when coming to the Giant Beast world, but now Du You’s strength was completely unthreatened.
The space passage disappeared and the three of them appeared in a new world. "So this is the Giant Beast world, really interesting," the two sisters whispered, taking in the wild aura surrounding them.
"It is interesting. There are so many different Giant Beasts here. If it weren’t for the issues with this world, it would have been controlled by people long ago. However, taking the young giant beasts and eggs out of here fetches a consistently high price."
Large Summoned Beasts weren’t easy to come by. Du You had journeyed for such a long time, and the only Summoned Creature he had seen that could compare to his own Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs was the guardian of the Dragon Tomb summoned by the joint forces of the Necromancy Academy.
Beyond that, Du You had not encountered another, illustrating the rarity of such Summoned Creatures.
As for the Death Scorpion, it was a special case. It wasn’t big in size; it was just highly capable of Controlling Sand.
Appearing once again in Shaking Stone City, Du You no longer needed this city to help him with anything. Or rather, there was nothing the city could assist him with. It had been many years since his last visit here.
Few people in this place recognized him now. Du You sneaked a peek at the Professional Association in Shaking Stone City; the boss was still the same person, but their rank hadn’t changed at all.
The difference, however, was that now the boss’s strength was no match for Du You. While the boss remained tier-three, Du You had become a tier-four, and their strengths weren’t on the same level anymore.
"Let’s go. After all, the old Professionals here helped me once, so this time I’ll give them a hand too. Oh, this world of despair, let them see a glimmer of hope," Du You said as he left the city with the two sisters. Content orıginally comes from 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⚑𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⚑𝙣𝙚𝙩
After who knows how many years, Shaking Stone City now seemed more lifeless than when he first arrived. The city walls had been repaired countless times, and cracks could be seen everywhere, clearly due to the work of the Earthquake Giant Beast.
It was certainly the Earthquake Giant Beast causing the natural quakes. The longer Heavenly Disaster Beasts stayed in a place, the stronger the surrounding Heavenly Disaster would become, eventually making the area utterly uninhabitable by humans. Shaking Stone City, lacking its own guardian Giant Beast, could only watch as the Earthquake Giant Beast continuously strengthened its power, leading to incessant earthquakes.
In the sky, Du You and the others flew at a high speed. It was not like the last time they came. Having spent most of the day, they arrived at a large valley.
"Is that the Earthquake Giant Beast? It looks like a crab, and this seems to be an inland area," one of the sisters remarked.
"It might only resemble one. Every world has its own rules. Perhaps, in this world, crabs live on land," Lin Yucha suggested as she observed the creature below that looked indeed like a crab.
This was a crab magnified countless times, its entire body red as if it had been boiled. But the intense aura it emitted and the pale red Heavenly Disaster cloud above made clear its extraordinariness.
The giant crab stood twenty meters tall, a height that surpassed even Du You’s Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs and appeared even more formidable.
Instead of landing, Du You summoned the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs and the Death Scorpion. Upon their appearance, the Heavenly Disaster cloud above the Demonic Dogs naturally dispersed, entangling with the other cloud in a spectacular display.
However, Du You discovered that the two Heavenly Disaster clouds seemed to be devouring each other, and he didn’t yet know what benefits this had for them. Similarly, he noticed that the forces of the two disasters were constantly repelling each other. Heavenly Disaster clouds are a type of rule-based ability, and since they are rules, they repel rules different from their own.
Provoked, the giant crab turned its head sharply, fixing its gaze on the much smaller Demonic Dogs.
Though smaller, the aura they exuded were by no means weak. The two Heavenly Disaster Beasts locked eyes, each recognizing only the other as if vowing to fight to the death. This was the first time Du You felt the robust desire for battle like that of the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs.
The giant sand-constructed scorpion nearby went unnoticed by the crab. A fight broke out in an instant as the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs charged, striking at the giant crab with a claw. At the same time, the crab fiercely grabbed with its pincers towards the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs.
But before it could get close, a sand-constructed pincer reached out, and the two giant pincers clashed mid-air. The sand-constructed pincer shattered instantly, but it also blocked the crab’s attack.
Unconcerned with the Death Scorpion, the giant crab’s attention was wholly fixed on the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs. The two Giant Beasts seemed to see only each other, determined to fight until one perished, perhaps as a manifestation of some rule.
