CHAPTER TEXT:
Red Hair jumped down from the air, and the magic creatures and battle beasts following her showed no interest in her. They only watched the undead fish dragon still hovering in the air.
Yangos even flew beside it, using its huge dragon nose to sniff at it.
However, what it received was the undead fish dragon's merciless tail swipe attack.
The Evil Dragon dodged, its eyes filled with disappointment. It knew about inheritance; it was just that different life forms expressed it differently. The Nine-Winged Crow transformed it into an orb, while others might express it as a ray of light or a drop of blood.
But regardless of the form, inheritance generally only served one purpose. Once used, it could not be plundered unless the life that received the inheritance reached a certain level and emitted its own form of inheritance again.
The current situation was that the inheritance orb had been absorbed by the undead fish dragon and could no longer be snatched, even killing the life that received the inheritance would be futile.
Displeased, Yangos roared at Red Hair and returned reluctantly. It truly did not dare to confront Red Hair and the undead fish dragon. On Cloud Summit, they were ranked second on the list of beings it knew it could not defeat.
“I just sensed a strange energy from the orb. I don't know if my judgment is correct, but it should have a significant side effect on non-secret realm entities. It would be very suitable for it,” Red Hair explained as she stood beside Ye Zhongming.
After all, this was an exceptional item, and she needed to inform Ye Zhongming before feeding it to the undead fish dragon.
Ye Zhongming nodded. Previously, when he saw the orb, he had suspected it was a trap set by the Nine-Winged Crow before its death. Otherwise, with so many magic creatures around, even some of those with blood ties to the Nine-Winged Crow present, why didn't it simply pass the inheritance to them but instead left it hanging in the air for everyone to fight over?
Today, its death was entirely due to these foreign life forms. It would be a lie to say the Nine-Winged Crow didn’t harbor any hatred. When leaving the inheritance, whether intentionally or not, it failed to clarify that this item couldn't be obtained by beings from another world, making its intentions easy to guess.
Without the temptation of the inheritance orb, the magic creatures and battle beasts regained their sanity. The commander-in-chief also regained control over the magic creature army, and human evolvers came over to retrieve their battle beasts. The war occurring in the two realms came to a complete end at this moment.
The magic creature commander took a deep look at Ye Zhongming, leading its subordinates to retreat several kilometers away to set up camp. After a period of rest, they would begin searching for magic crystals and materials.
It had completely abandoned any other thoughts.
In that brief moment, the main force of Cloud Summit had not made a move. Relying solely on a few skilled fighters and three massive machines, they had wiped out a large number of magic creatures, once again proving their absolute strength.
With that, cooperation became the only choice.
As the magic creatures retreated, the remaining task was to handle the aftermath.
On the battlefield where they had fought the magic creatures, Cloud Summit had left two teams to clean up. However, due to the overwhelming number of magic creature corpses, collecting the magic crystals and necessary materials would likely take a few days.
Another team was dispatched with earth yellow pills to handle security, while the rest focused on processing the corpses of the two ninth-level life forms.
Water Steward Li Daqian and Commander Mu, among others, came over and, upon seeing that the Cloud Summit team was already dealing with the ninth-level corpses, their expressions were complex.
Guangyao came to find Ye Zhongming and detailed the situation they encountered earlier.
Water Steward kept a distance, watching Liu Zhenghong carefully placing the corpse of the Armored King into an exquisite metal coffin, feeling a sense of unreality.
