Chapter 299: Life Drawing, Higher-Tier Divine Weapon

The four divine beasts were exasperated.

You destroyed our home, and you’re chaining us now. You have gone too far!

However, Meng Lei did not pay any more attention to them. He treated them like air and focused on capturing the monster beneath the earth.

The earth rumbled as mountain rocks rolled down.

The earth shook vigorously as a humongous being was dragged out of the ground. It was completely soaked in mud, making it difficult to decipher its appearance.

A forceful divine power spread into the surroundings the moment it appeared. The four restless divine beasts looked toward the gigantic creature.

“What’s that?”

“What fearsome divine power!”

“Out from the underground?”

Meng Lei swung his arm casually, and the mud on the gigantic creature flew off. Moments later, a majestic creature was revealed.

It had a body of a gigantic ape, hippopotamus-like mouth, steel needle-like golden fur all over, and thick muscles bulging like boulders—every part of its body was filled with explosive power!

“Golden Behemoth!”

It only took a glance for the four divine beasts to recognize this massive creature. What they were more surprised about was that there was a Golden Behemoth underground which they were completely unaware of!

“An intermediate-deity Golden Behemoth!”

Meng Lei nodded secretly. Even after 20,000 years, this Golden Behemoth’s corpse was still vivid without any signs of decomposition.

Such was a body of an intermediate deity, almost incorruptible. However, a black spear was stuck at the forehead of this Golden Behemoth. This must have killed it.

“This spear is very familiar...”

Meng Lei took out his Gods-Slaying Spear and compared them. He realized that they looked exactly the same—both were surrounded by lightning and nothing different.

“Another Gods-Slaying Spear!”

Meng Lei’s expression became awful. “The one that killed this Golden Behemoth was the same as the one that killed Ol’ Amos previously!”

“Damn it! Just who was it?”

Meng Lei immediately tried dripping his blood to claim ownership and did not face any obstruction. It was clear that the owner of this spear was already dead.

“My dear Ol’ Amos, you can’t even find this guy to take your revenge on anymore. That is simply tragic!”

Meng Lei kept both Gods-Slaying Spears and brought the corpse into the Tower of Time. This corpse was an invaluable treasure.

“As for the four of you...”

Meng Lei looked at the four divine beasts and could not help but think that they seemed pretty magnificent.

The Five-Colored Sacred Bull, Moon-Howling Heavenly Wolf, Rainbow Wood Toad, Great Earth Bear looked majestic and extraordinary.

“The heavens are virtuous and cherish all life, so I shall not kill you all,” Meng Lei said casually. “But, your punishment is to hand over your divine spirit origin energy to avoid death!”

“What are you talking about?”

“You want us to submit to you?”

“Forget about it!”

“Dream on!”

“You’re bullying too much!”

The four divine beasts were enraged upon hearing Meng Lei’s words as they glared at Meng Lei with their eyes spewing with fury. They felt violated!

“Unwilling? Then I guess there’s no other way!” Meng Lei shook his head. “I have given all of you a chance. Since you’re not willing to take it, then don’t blame me for anything!”

Splurt!

Splurt!

Splurt!

Splurt!

Countless tiny needles sticking out of the vines penetrated the four divine beasts, poking through their necks and absorbing their life essence violently.

Life Drawing!

The ability to absorb other’s vitality for his own use and enrich his life essence. This was not an Innate Special Ability but an ability of the Ancient Tree of Life!

Gurgle!

“Damn it!”

“Get off me!”

“Let go!”

As they felt their life being drained away endlessly, the four divine beasts started to struggle madly. However, under the might of the Power of Existential Plane, any struggles would be futile.

They could only watch their bodies shrink like a burst balloon. Their energy was drained quickly, and there was nothing they could do about it.

“At this rate, we’ll be sucked into dry corpses and die in his hands!”

“Quickly! Summon our great God. Only he can save us!”

“Yes, yes, yes! Summon our great god...”

The four divine beasts wanted to let out roars, but they could not even open their mouths, let alone calling for their great god.

“It’s all over!”

“We’re dead meat!”

“No! I don’t want to die! I have just become a divine beast. I don’t want to die yet!

As death loomed, the Moon-Howling Heavenly Wolf was the first to yield as it repeatedly begged, “S-spare me! I submit! I submit!”

Meng Lei snorted. He stopped draining the Moon-Howling Heavenly Wolf’s life essence reluctantly, and he calmly said, “Yielding just like that? What a wussy!”

Hooowl!

The Moon-Howling Heavenly Wolf cried out and released its divine spirit origin energy obediently, letting Meng Lei refine it and control its life and death.

“Good that you know your place!”

Meng Lei let the wolf off.

“Thank... Thank you!”

The Moon-Howling Heavenly Wolf looked at Meng Lei with a complicated gaze. It would never have thought that it was a mighty king of the Heavenly Wolves moments ago! At the very next moment, he actually submitted to some random fellow it did not know at all!

It was unimaginable!

“What about the three of you?”

Meng Lei glanced at the Five-Colored Sacred Bull, Rainbow Wood Toad, and Great Earth Bear.

“We submit too!”

As much as they were unwilling to submit to Meng Lei, their lives were in jeopardy. Thus, the three divine beasts finally yielded and gave up their divine spirit origin energy.

“Let’s go then!”

Meng Lei turned around and flew away. The four divine beasts did not dare to delay and followed docilely.

Half an hour later, Meng Lei came to the sky above a lake. The waters were clear and sparkling with ripples along the surface, like a beautiful emerald embedded among the sea of the lush forest. The surroundings were filled with thick bushes and verdant trees; it was picturesque.

“This is a nice place!”

Meng Lei was a little unwilling to destroy such a scenic place, but there’s something in the lake that he must obtain. A few moments later, a trident emerged from the waters.

This trident was a hundred meters long. It was made entirely out of an unknown material, and it emitted surging water-elemental energy waves with incredible divine power.

Meng Lei flicked his fingers for a drop of blood. Surprisingly, he could not refine this trident. Meng Lei was stunned. Did someone own the trident?

His divine cognition entered the trident promptly and shattered the previous owner’s divine spirit mark, and he engraved his own.

“Impressive! It is a high-tier divine weapon. I’ve reeled in the big one this time!” After refining the trident and knowing the level of this divine weapon, Meng Lei was truly surprised.

High-tier divine weapons were extremely rare!

Meng Lei was lucky enough to possess divine weapons like the Grim Reaper Scythe and the Gods-Slaying Spear, but his Grim Reaper Scythe was the only high-tier divine weapon he had. It proved the rarity of such weapons!

Now that he obtained this trident, it was an absolute windfall!

Roar!

At that moment, the lake surged and churned violently as a gigantic jade green winged-hydra emerged from the water. It opened its huge mouth and went straight at Meng Lei! An atrocious stench invaded his nostrils, and Meng Lei almost threw up his dinner from last night!

“What the hell!?”
