Relying on the methods of Logan, they quickly sensed a nearby Sovereign Demonic Beast. They rushed over without pause. When they reached the location, they used many tactics, but that beast did not emerge.
Shangguan Bo scratched his head and asked puzzledly, “How can this be? With our provocation, wouldn’t the Sovereign Demonic Beast be angry? Especially since none of us is a Dominator here, the beast must think it can deal with us easily.”
“It’s not hard to understand. Yesterday, millions of demon beasts met their downfall together, even the Half-step Sacred Throne Demonic Beast did not escape. This scene was clearly seen by all beasts in the mountain range, so none of them dare to provoke us now. Provocation is pointless. Instead, we should use our Divine Skills to draw out the beast.”
Ba Ke Yun responded with a faint smile. He clearly understood that even continuous provocation of the beasts might not work – let alone causing havoc. He expected the Sovereign Demonic Beast to tolerate, given that even a half-step saint wasn’t a match for it. It was natural that it wouldn’t come out looking for trouble.
Logan furrowed his brow. After a brief moment, he came up with a good idea. He had studied a Divine Skill that, although held no other uses, provided the unique advantage of intimidating Spiritual power.
A demonic beast’s spiritual power is generally weaker than a human’s. After intimidation, it would undoubtedly feel extreme pain. Even if the beast had strong willpower, it could not endure for long. Even if it did not dare to fight, it would surely find ways to escape, which they could then seize upon.
The next moment, Logan put his technique into action. A terrifying destructive force burst forth, causing Shangguan Bo and the others to clutch their heads. A mouthful of blood was spat out; they hurriedly told Logan not to proceed, as their cultivation couldn’t sustain such devastation.
Logan, having forgotten this small factor, gave an embarrassed smile, “I’ll teach you a technique. As long as you silently recite it, you will form a protective shield, and my psychic attack won’t harm you.”
After sharing the technique with the rest, Logan immediately resumed his previous tactic. At moment, all the beasts within ten miles suffered, writhing in unbearable pain, and then scattered away. Everyone moved swiftly, afraid of being a step behind.
That Sovereign Demonic Beast, naturally realizing that Logan and the others were coming for it, dared not flee. If it ran, it would certainly be discovered by Logan and his group. However, not running would lead to intolerable suffering. Despite all attempts at self-preservation, Logan’s psychic attack was unstoppable.
Logan couldn’t help but praise, “I have to say, this Sovereign beast is very strong. It has almost lasted for 15 minutes. Generally, if a Dominator can endure for three minutes, it is considered good. Since this is the case, I’ll increase the psychic attack power. I will exert ten times the force.”
At the same time, he reminded Shangguan Bo and the others to prepare. Because, when his full psychic attack is released, even if they have protective techniques, they will still feel some pain. All of them must persist for the moment, and wait until the Sovereign Demonic Beast cannot resist first.
Having reached this point, what else could Shangguan Bo and the others say? They could only hope that the Sovereign Demonic Beast would show itself soon. Otherwise, if this continued, their outlook was bleak. Just thinking about Logan’s psychic attacks made them shudder; it felt as if their Spiritual Sense Sea would be destroyed.
With the full psychic attack unleashed, the horrifying intimidation spread for ten miles, preventing peace in the nearby mountains. Ba Ke Yun and Shangguan Bo were inevitably in immense pain. Their only option was to cover their ears and withstand; they silently prayed and wished for all this to end quickly.
The Sovereign Demonic Beast could no longer resist. It suddenly burst out from beneath the ground, forming a deep pit more than ten meters deep. Without any regard, it attempted to escape in the distance, but was blocked by Shangguan Bo. Even though the beast was in pain and furious, it didn’t dare to fight back and tried to escape in another direction instead.
But when all directions were blocked, and it had nowhere to retreat, it could only fight to find a way out. However, the sights from yesterday still lingered; a half-step saint had already stepped back. As such, a small dominator like itself dared not violate Logan, as it knew it could not bear the consequences.
With a roar, the beast’s Bloodline Power burst forth. At this moment, it no longer wanted to think too much. Since these people were determined to put it in a desperate situation, it decided to fight with Logan and the others. Moreover, since Logan was without his array at present, it didn’t believe that Logan could resist it.
Logan gave a faint smile and asked the beast to calm down: “Calm down. We found you not because we want to be your enemy, but because we need you to relay a message. I want to meet the Half-step Sacred Throne Demonic Beast. The survival of the entire mountain range is at stake. He must appear in person. I’ll wait for him here.”
The Sovereign Demonic Beast was confused, but it also understood Logan was not its enemy. Its anger subsided. However, it didn’t dare to deliver Logan’s message because the Half-step Sacred Throne Demonic Beast was probably furious at the moment. What if it vented its anger on him?
He shook his head, using a Divine Skill to translate into Human language: “No, the Saint-level Monster is unpredictable in its moods. I am but a minor Dominator; please don’t make it difficult for me. There are many Dominating Realm beasts in this mountain range, why did you choose me?”
“If you don’t relay the message, and the mountain range is destroyed, all the blame will fall on you. Imagine how furious the Half-step Saint would be. Out of anger, it might kill you. If you go now, at worst, you’ll get scolded. Which is more important? You should really think it over.”
Logan spread his hands and continued, “I’m just an outsider. The survival of your mountain range has nothing to do with me. It’s only because the Half-step Sacred Throne Demonic Beast did me a favor yesterday that I want to repay the favor today, hence seeing him in person. If you’re not willing, just consider that I never said anything.”
With those words, the Sovereign Demonic Beast became frantic. Indeed, Logan had a point. He was just passing a message; at worst, he would get scolded or beaten up. However, if things went as Logan said and he became the prime culprit in destroying the mountain range, he would become the enemy of all demonic beasts.
Even if he were reduced to ashes, his disgrace would last forever. His descendants would be despised by all demonic beasts. Hence, he made a decision on the spot—to deliver the message, at least so that he could clear himself of any involvement.
“I can relay the message. But I want to make one thing clear: I don’t know if the Half-step Sacred Throne Demonic Beast will see you, especially since you had unpleasant interactions yesterday which caused him to lose face in front of the Hundred Million Demonic Beasts in the Mountain Range!”
Upon hearing this, Logan waved his hand. It didn’t matter to him. As long as the message reached the Half-step Sacred Throne Demonic Beast, he believed that even if they had deep grudges between them, facing the survival of the entire mountain range, the other party would surely put the hatred aside for the moment.
The Sovereign Demonic Beast vanished in an instant. Logan breathed a sigh of relief. At least half of the task was completed. The rest depended on fate. As for them, they could only wait quietly.
