It was unknown whether it was because the energy of the offerings had been consumed too much, or because the Thirteenth Prince had used up all his good luck. The beasts that were summoned after that were not of high grade, mainly between second to fifth grade. Some even summoned a small mouse as a beast. A mouse the size of a fist could be used to steal rice, but it would never be used in battle. It could be trampled to death with a single step. Finally, a princess from the Prince's family appeared and summoned a seventh grade Jade Peacock beast. Not only was it powerful, it was also very beautiful after merging.
If it was in the past, a seventh grade beast would have been quite amazing. However, because there was a ninth grade beast in front, everyone's attention was on the Thirteenth Prince, so not many people paid attention to the princess.
"Pang Zhen, come up!"
Apart from Du Feng, all the direct relatives of the royal family had been sacrificed. He should have been next. However, the Chief Steward had no intention of calling him up. He directly called the name of Lieutenant Pang's son, Pang Zhen.
How could this be … Even the visiting members from the peripheral affiliated kingdoms felt that this was too much. The Seventh Prince was not talented and weak, so he was ranked last in the royal family. However, they could not let the descendants of the monarch be ranked behind the officials.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony."
When Pang Zhen passed by the Seventh Prince, he purposely grinned at him, showing off his attitude.
"Lieutenant Pang has protected the country, so the Queen has specially granted him priority. Is there anyone who disagrees?"
When the Chief Steward saw the crowd jeering, he immediately used his rooster-like voice to give an order. Although the crowd was quite dissatisfied, they remembered that the Fourth Prince had already joined a sect. Now that the Thirteenth Prince had summoned a supreme beast, he would definitely be valued by the big sects in the future. No one dared to disobey the Queen.
"It's fine, let him go first."
Du Feng did not want to interrupt at first, but he saw his mother, Consort Liu, standing up to plead for him. He did not want her to work too hard. Since things had developed to this point, pleading was useless and he would lose face for nothing. Since he did not care about the sacrifice, he might as well let Pang Zhen show off first.
"Sixth grade Iron Mountain Boar!"
When Pang Zhen appeared riding a tall black wild boar, there was another uproar below the stage. Lieutenant Pang was so excited that tears streamed down his face. Although his official position was not small, he was still an official. Right now, his son Pang Zhen's beast's rank had surpassed many of the royal family's heirs. This was definitely something to be proud of.
Although the name Iron Mountain Boar was not pleasant to hear, it had a special characteristic, which was its strong defense. If they met an enemy that they couldn't handle, they could fuse with their beasts to form an iron mountain defense. His entire body turned into a small hill covered with iron spikes, making it impossible for the enemy to attack him.
Hehe, what a fat pig. Hearing the name of Pang Zhen's beast, then looking at its plump body and dark face, Du Feng couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"What's so funny? Other than having a pretty face, what else do you have? You're just a piece of trash."
Seeing Du Feng ridiculing his son, Lieutenant Pang was very angry. If it were any other prince, it would be fine. After all, he was a member of the royal family. Other than being handsome, this Seventh Prince didn't have any other abilities. He actually dared to mock Pang Zhen, who had a seventh grade beast.
"Du Feng, step forward!"
Previously, regardless of whether it was prince, princess or princess, they were all addressed respectfully. However, when it came to the Seventh Prince, he called him by his name. It was obvious that he didn't treat him as a member of the royal family, or that he was prepared to chase him away after the test. Everyone estimated that this piece of trash definitely wouldn't be able to summon a beast. He might not even be able to enter the Garden of Beasts.
"What grade do you think this Seventh Prince's beast will be!"
"This time, the Thirteenth Prince summoned a ninth grade Martial Spirit. Maybe the Seventh Prince will also summon a full-ranked beast or something."
"Stop bullshitting. You guys don't know, I've already come five times. The Seventh Prince failed every time. It's already good enough that he could enter the Garden of Beasts this time. What other grade would he need?"
There was a lot of discussion. Some people had hope for the Seventh Prince, but most people didn't think highly of him. The Thirteenth Prince could have entered the Garden of Beasts before he was ten years old, but he waited until he was fourteen years old to summon a ninth grade Lightning Tiger. A full-ranked beast would be born as long as he was one grade higher. Hence, some people had a little hope for the Seventh Prince.
Du Feng strolled up the stage and gave his mother a reassuring look.
Rumble …
What the hell? Du Feng wanted to keep a low profile. However, the dark clouds in the sky suddenly gathered violently. The formation was many times larger than when the Thirteenth Prince was performing his sacrificial ritual. Even the Queen from the Yunchu Nation had never seen or heard of such a phenomenon.
"F * ck you! Are you trying to kill Yours Truly?!"
Du Feng cursed, but he was actually very excited. As the son of the Alchemy Emperor in his previous life, he improved very quickly in terms of Cultivation. He was the envy of many people. However, only he knew how painful it was to lack the assistance of a beast. In order to preserve his strength, he had to consume large amounts of pills to forcefully increase his Cultivation. Other people only needed to fuse with their beasts to increase the absorption effect by a few times or even a dozen times. In this life, even if he could only summon an ordinary beast, combined with his experience in alchemy and high-level skills from his previous life, he would definitely have a chance to become an Emperor-level expert.
The atmosphere became more and more tense. All the offerings were withering at a frightening speed. When the Thirteenth Prince performed his sacrificial ritual, only the flesh and blood of the animals were sucked away. When it came to Du Feng, not only was the flesh and blood sucked dry, even the bones were sucked into ashes.
"Quickly, throw in the offerings!"
The Second Duke reacted the fastest. He felt the strong suction coming from the sky and ordered people to throw in new offerings. The dark clouds in the sky were getting thicker and thicker, forming a vortex. The cattle, sheep, and horses that had just been slaughtered were sucked away before they could be placed on the table.
To be honest, in this situation, no one dared to go forward and place the offerings one by one. If they were thrown far away, the vortex would suck them away on its own. If he didn't let the vortex eat its fill, he was afraid that it would suck away the living people below. According to the previous pattern, the more blood and qi of the offerings were absorbed, the more types of battle beasts would be produced. Could it be that the good-for-nothing Seventh Prince actually had amazing talent? Why didn't he succeed the previous five times?
Could there be any problems? Although he was the son of the Alchemy Emperor in his previous life, Du Feng was a little worried now. He had never seen such a huge commotion before. Could it have something to do with the previous owner of this body? The situation didn't allow him to think too much. He could only enter the Garden of Beasts through the golden halo.
"Strike him to death … strike him to death …"
Other than the Queen, many people were praying for Du Feng to be struck to death by lightning. Judging from the commotion in the sky, there was definitely a heaven-defying battle beast in the Garden of Beasts. If that happened, it would probably alarm Du Zhanfei, and it would be difficult to kill the Seventh Prince. Even if Du Zhanfei did not come out of seclusion, the Princes would still protect him.
"Crack!"
It was unknown if the heavens had heard the prayers of those people, but an even thicker bolt of lightning struck down. Lightning was not enough to describe its ferocity. It was more like an electric dragon that directly entered the golden halo. Du Feng had just entered. If he was struck by this lightning bolt, he would definitely be turned into ashes.
Wow! There were so many battle beasts in the Garden of Beasts. Jackals, wolves, tigers, leopards, rhinoceroses, and wild boars. There were also unicorns and silver-scaled mountain goats. Although they weren't ferocious beasts, they were of high levels. After absorbing so many offerings, the effects were not bad.
Actually, Du Feng had not been struck by the lightning. Instead, he was taking a stroll in the Garden of Beasts. A group of animals, big and small, surrounded him, making him feel like an animal breeder. A flaming lion suddenly leaped out, scaring the other animals into scattering.
What it did next shocked Du Feng. Not only was this big guy not fierce, but it also stuck out its big tongue and licked his boots, just like a pug. Could it be that his soul had become stronger because of his rebirth? Such a fierce battle beast actually came to lick his boots? The Flaming Lion was the same level as the Lightning Tiger. It had already reached the ninth level. There was no need for Du Feng to summon it. It came over on its own.
He had to go deeper into the Garden of Beasts. There were bound to be higher level beasts. Du Feng patted the Flaming Lion's head and let it play on its own. Then, he took a step forward and quickly walked forward. Along the way, there were Cerberus, Two-headed Dragon, Hydra, Winged Dragon, and others that were at the peak level or even close to the level of demigod beasts. But they all had one thing in common. They didn't dare go near the same place.
What … … there were kirins, pixiu, colorful phoenixes, and even phoenixes and azure dragons. These were all genuine divine beasts. Only those that could be called gods could be called divine beasts. All of them were existences that surpassed the peak level. Any one of them would definitely shock Rong Tian and even the entire Wargod Continent. But why did they not dare go near that place?
"Roar … …"
A White Tiger, whose whole body was glowing with holy light, roared at Du Feng, who was walking. It seemed to be saying, "Hurry up and bring me out to conquer the world."
"Brother White Tiger, my apologies. I want to go in and see what's inside."
Du Feng really wanted to ride the white tiger and appear on the altar, blinding everyone. But the mysterious object in that place had always attracted his attention. Something that could make so many divine beasts afraid of it couldn't be weak. Seeing that Du Feng didn't choose it, the white tiger waved its paw and left with its head lowered, looking very disappointed.
What the hell is this?! Du Feng was dumbfounded when he saw the item hidden in the depths of the cave. The thing that all the beasts in the Garden of Beasts didn't dare go near was actually an egg. It was about the size of a child, milky white with green patterns on it.
