"According to Your Excellency, are you saying that their abilities come from you? Or do you have a way to break the Demon Clan's control over these Ancient Beasts, freeing them from their grasp?"
"Hehe, what do you think? This kind of deal is worth the risk for you, isn't it?" Seeing Wang Long swayed by his words, the Ancient Beasts revealed a smug smile.
Wang Long pondered for a moment before finally nodding.
Given the current conditions of both parties, it was not impossible for Wang Long to extract more benefits, but in the long run, it would be unwise.
Not to mention that this Ancient Beast was exceptionally powerful, far beyond the average Ancient Beasts. Moreover, eliminating the beasts tamed by the Demon Clan would already be a significant gain. If he asked for too much, even if the other party endured for now, they would undoubtedly harbor resentment, leading to enmity. In that case, it would be better not to rescue them at all and instead gain a formidable enemy in the future.
"Continue breaking the formation!" Now that Wang Long understood what was within this Demon Array, he had no more reservations. Additionally, after so many years, this Ancient Beast had gained considerable insight into the Ten Thousand Demons' Heart-Settling Formation and could provide assistance in some critical areas.
Wang Long noticed that this Demon Array shared some similarities with the Demon Skull in terms of how Spiritual Essence operated; both emitted waves that connected with various nodes of surrounding formations.
With this thought in mind, Wang Long's heart stirred as he directly summoned the Demon Skull.
"Eh?" Seeing Wang Long's action, the trapped Ancient Beast couldn't help but feel a stir of surprise. "That... that's the Demon Skull. Isn't that Brahma Demon King's signature treasure? How did it end up in your hands?"
Wang Long smiled and said, "This is just a fake created by Brahma Demon King during his tricks. However, its power is still quite impressive."
"No, this is not a fake!" The Ancient Beast's expression turned unexpectedly serious. "I have dealt with Brahma Demon King far longer than you have and know him much better. While this may not be the original body of the Demon Skull, it is at least a fragment of it. Do not be deceived by the Demon Clan's words. If Brahma Demon King could produce as many of these Demon Skulls as he wanted, he would have already been invincible in the divine realm."
"Uh?" Wang Long was taken aback.
He recalled how Abyssal Demon had instructed him to take good care of the Demon Skull when they repelled Heavenly Slayer; there must have been deeper meaning behind it. It seemed unlikely that a fake would receive such importance from Abyssal Demon.
It appeared that he had previously underestimated the significance of the Demon Skull; there might be even more valuable insights to uncover within it.
With this thought and sensing the connection between the Demon Skull and this set of Demon Array, Wang Long's heart stirred again as he slowly sent it towards the core of the Demon Array and activated his Spiritual Essence once more.
A shocking event occurred for Wang Long. Originally, the Demon Skull had a strong resonance with the Ten Thousand Demons' Heart-Settling Formation, and streams of Spiritual Essence danced in the void like beautiful patterns.
"What is happening?" Evil and Malicious and others immediately felt a significant reduction in pressure and noticed the anomaly in Wang Long's direction. They hurried over, fearing something had gone wrong.
"Don't worry, it's fine. It seems we've stumbled upon a pleasant surprise this time."
Without further ado, he instructed Evil and Malicious to remain vigilant around them while he handled this powerful formation alone.
The oscillation between the Ten Thousand Demons' Heart-Settling Formation and the Demon Skull gradually synchronized. At this moment, Wang Long could clearly feel that the pressure on him had diminished significantly. Although he had not yet seized control of the formation for his own use, its entire layout was now fully revealed before him.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Long channeled his Spiritual Essence through the Demon Skull into the focal point of the Ten Thousand Demons' Heart-Settling Formation. A black magic sword suddenly appeared, anchoring itself at the focal point, making it difficult for Wang Long's power to penetrate.
"Thunder Element Annihilation Sword!"
Wang Long pointed with his right hand, not condensing the Thunder Element Sword in his grasp but instead bestowing powerful Thunder Element energy onto that black magic sword.
He knew that if he recklessly attempted to break it directly, even if everything went smoothly, it would likely alert Brahma Demon King himself. This would cause their operation to lose its element of surprise—worse still, countless Demon Experts could be waiting for them as they emerged from any direction of this secret path.
The black magic sword produced considerable repulsion against the Thunder Element Power; however, since he was merely "attaching" a form of power to it rather than directly attacking it, this repulsion remained within Wang Long's control. Gradually, the two forces finally merged.
Wang Long let out a long breath; at this point, he could say that he had succeeded in breaking the formation by more than half. He divided a portion of his Spirit into the Thunder Element Power, effectively subduing the black magic sword so that it could no longer stabilize the focal point.
Dozens of Spiritual Essence shot out in succession, each fixing onto various nodes of the Ten Thousand Demons' Heart-Settling Formation. Suddenly, Wang Long exerted more force, gathering all his Spiritual Essence into a single Vortex that shattered the entire Army. The released Spiritual Essence was entirely swept away by Wang Long's own Spiritual Essence with almost no leakage.
"Hahaha, good, good technique!" Ancient Beasts laughed wildly upon realizing they were completely free. With a surge of strength, an invisible barrier surrounding him shattered. The powerful pressure Wang Long had sensed earlier now radiated even more directly from him, prompting an instinctive urge to gather energy defensively. "After over a thousand years, I am finally truly free! Brahma, you never expected this day would come!"
"Cough cough," noticing Ancient Beasts' slightly unrestrained behavior after breaking free, Wang Long lightly cleared his throat to remind him: "While you are free now, I hope you haven't forgotten what you promised us earlier. Also, we still don't know how to address you."
"Don't worry, even though I am a beast and looked down upon by your various clans, what I say as my identity is absolutely valid! However, you are not worthy to know my name, so just call me Beast Ancestor!"
Wang Long's gaze slightly narrowed. From this wildly arrogant Ancient Beast, he had already deduced many things.
The first point is that he should not have too many expectations for this newly acquired "ally." The reason this creature has not turned against him is not due to gratitude for his rescue but simply because of its pride.
The second point is that after they deal with the Demon Clan, a battle between them is inevitable, but for now, it is not something to worry about, again due to its pride.
"Is that so? In that case, I see no need to tell you our names; you can call me Dragon Head." Although he understood that this individual's strength was definitely at the level of the Four Great Sect Leaders, Wang Long had no interest in compromising with him. For such a proud character, the more he tried to please him, the more it would fuel that arrogance and make him look down on Wang Long even more.
"Hmm?" The Beast Ancestor glared at him but was too lazy to argue. He simply extended a front paw and pointed behind him. "It seems this is your first time here, and you are unfamiliar with the situation inside, right? Follow me; I'll explain how the Brahma Demon King controls those Ancient Beasts, and you can tell me about the current situation outside."
The history of the Ancient Beasts is extremely long, even predating Pangu the Giant God’s creation of the world. When Pangu awakened and the universe began, several Ancient Beasts had engaged in a fierce battle with him but were ultimately defeated by Pangu. Of course, this ancient beast would never admit to that.
The batch of Ancient Beasts that directly emerged from the chaotic period can be said to be the beginning of all things and naturally exert a powerful suppressive force over the current ancient beasts.
After capturing him, the Brahma Demon King used various methods to collect the chaotic energy from his body and combined it with his own immense power to defeat each one, ultimately subduing those beasts and forcing them to serve him.
