"Impossible, this is impossible. After one's strength reaches the Eighth Stage, every step forward in the Ninth Stage is very difficult. As for the Ninth Stage, every step forward is several times more difficult than the Eighth Stage. Since you have just become a Martial Emperor, it is absolutely impossible for you to break through the First Heavenly Layer of the Ninth Stage and reach the higher Ninth Stage in such a short time." The old man was stunned. Even though he felt despair, he also found it very difficult to believe that Nubis's strength would soar so quickly after reaching Class 9.
Nubis smiled even more happily when he saw how dejected the old man was. He felt extremely carefree inside. He had learned that there was an extremely powerful Golden-striped Silver Snake on the Beast God Continent many years ago, which was why he had always hidden himself in the outskirts of the Cross Mountains. He did not join the Gilligan clan in the depths of the mountains because he wanted to avoid the threat of the Beast God Continent.
This was because he was only Class 7 back then, so he felt an innate fear and dread toward the old snake he had never seen before. He was extremely worried that the old snake would secretly infiltrate the Tian Yuan Continent to deal with him, so he chose to cultivate in the outskirts of the Cross Mountains. It was the closest place to Mercenary City. If the old snake really did come to the Tian Yuan Continent, he could flee to Mercenary City.
It could be said that the old snake of the Beast God Continent was like an invisible mountain that weighed down on Nubis's heart. He felt extremely pressured, so much so that he had to be careful when he went out. He was afraid that the news of him being a Golden-striped Silver Snake would spread and even more people would learn about it.
Afterwards, the old snake of the Beast God Continent infiltrated the Tian Yuan Continent and was slain by the grand elder of Mercenary City, Tian Jian. His corpse was given to Nubis.
After devouring the essence of the old snake, Nubis inherited a small portion of the old snake's memories. He learned from the memories that there was actually an even more powerful old snake on the Beast God Continent. The old snake that had died to Tian Jian's hands was controlled by an even more powerful old man.
When Nubis learnt about this, his heart sank to rock bottom. He became even more fearful and fearful of the powerful Old Snake. The Beast God Continent became a forbidden zone for him once again.
And now, Nubis felt an indescribable sense of pleasure when he saw Old Snake, who had caused him great psychological pressure, unable to retaliate at all.
At this moment, he simply wished for nothing more than to roar into the sky!
"It's a pity that the great medicine that the Old Man spent so much effort to nurture has died on the Tian Yuan Continent, or the Old Man might have become a Saint Emperor already," the golden-robed old man murmured. His face was filled with reluctance.
At this moment, the eight Class 8 Magical Beasts that had pursued Nubis earlier all concealed their presences and began to retreat silently. They wanted to use this opportunity to escape. The eight of them were scared out of their wits. Their faces were pale, without a trace of blood. Their bodies were trembling slightly, and their hearts were filled with intense fear.
Some of them were even filled with regret. They all cursed Nubis inside. He was a mighty Class 9 expert, yet he had disguised himself as a Class 7 Magical Beast to trick them. In the end, the eight of them had boldly chased a Class 9 Magical Beast across most of the Beast God Continent. If they had known earlier that Nubis was a Class 9 Magical Beast, they would not have dared to chase him even if they were a hundred times bolder.
Nubis's eyes narrowed as a mocking smile appeared on his lips. He slowly turned his head to look at the eight fleeing Class 8 Magical Beasts and said, "Little guys, I, the great Nubis, have been chased by you for so long, so why do you want to flee so silently?"
The eight Class 8 Magical Beasts immediately trembled violently when they heard what Nubis had said. They were so frightened that their hearts almost jumped out. Their faces all became extremely ugly, filled with some despair.
Nubis extended a finger and a silver thread shot out, binding the eight Class 8 Magical Beasts together. He chuckled aloud, "Little guys, I'll teach you a lesson once I deal with this old snake."
Afterward, Nubis mercilessly killed the golden-robed old man. He used a secret technique to devour the old man's essence on the spot.
This was the second Golden-Striped Silver Snake that Nubis had devoured. When he devoured the first one, he was only a Saint Ruler, while the golden-striped Silver Snake had reached the Fourth Heavenly Layer of the Holy Emperor. It was far, far more powerful than Nubis, so it took Nubis an extremely long time to devour the first Golden-Striped Silver Snake's essence. At the same time, his strength increased by leaps and bounds.
Now that Nubis's strength had reached the level of the Holy Emperor, devouring the old snake that was only at the Great Perfection of the Holy Emperor obviously would not increase his strength. However, it would strengthen his essence by quite a lot, benefiting him greatly.
Nubis's entire body flickered with a faint golden light after devouring the old snake's essence. His strength remained at the same level as before, but the presence he gave off seemed to have become even more powerful.
Afterward, Nubis looked at the eight Class 8 Magical Beasts and snickered, "It's your turn now. You've chased me, the great Nubis, for so long, so how should I deal with you?"
The eight Class 8 Magical Beasts tensed up. A few of them immediately dropped to their knees, constantly kowtowing as they begged for mercy.
Nubis smiled strangely. He circled around the eight Class 8 Magical Beasts a few times and said after a moment of thought, "Whatever. Although I, the great Nubis, have been chased across half the Beast God Continent by you, I probably wouldn't have been able to draw out the old snake if I hadn't done that. Now that I've successfully devoured the old snake's essence, I've achieved my objective, so I'm in a good mood, I'll spare you. However, I can spare you the death penalty, but I can't escape punishment. As for the punishment, you will have to treat me, the great Nubis, as your leader. Do you have any objections? "
The eight Class 8 Magical Beasts were overjoyed as if they had just been pardoned. They called out in a hurry, "Thank you, great Nubis Kane. From today onwards, we are willing to listen to the orders of the great Nubis!" The eight of them were extremely emotional. The punishment Nubis had mentioned was not a punishment at all in their eyes. Instead, it was a blessing that many large tribes could only dream of.
The Beast God Continent was far crueler than the Tian Yuan Continent. Even large organizations with Class 8 Magical Beasts would often engage in battle, and the annihilation of entire clans was a common occurrence. Although they were ruled by the three supreme experts of the Beast God Hall, they would never interfere with the battles of their subordinates. This was because the three supreme experts of the Beast God Hall each possessed countless organizations of various sizes in their territories. Even the destruction of a large organization would not draw too much attention from the three supreme experts.
However, Nubis was different. According to their understanding, Nubis had only reached Class 9 recently, but he possessed strength greater than regular Class 9 Magical Beasts. He just happened to not have any organizations under him. If the eight of them submitted to him, they would become the first group of organizations under Nubis. They would obviously be treated with special importance, and their statuses would be extraordinary.
Nubis smiled in satisfaction. He waved his hand and said, "You can go. As for your clansmen, their lives are not in any danger. I, the great Nubis, have only made them faint. They should have woken up by now. Oh right, don't forget to erect a statue of me, the great Nubis, in your clans after you return. The statue must be completely made of gold. Only then will it be worthy of my great status as the great Nubis. "
The eight Class 8 Magical Beasts nodded in a hurry. They all carefully glanced at Nubis and memorized Nubis's appearance.
After the eight Class 8 Magical Beasts left, Nubis rolled up his wide sleeves, immediately revealing his golden-skinned arm. A layer of golden light flowed under his skin as strange inscriptions covered his entire arm.
