Chapter 2167: Death
“Master empress, just what are these things? Why is it that not too long ago, they seemed no different from statues?” Zu An asked in confusion. He had made sure to examine them with his divine senses, but he didn’t notice anything strange at the time.
“It looks like they were sealed through some secret method in ancient times and turned into statues to guard this place. Once certain conditions were met, they would awaken.” Mi Li sighed. “According to what I know, the only way for this kind of secret method to work is if the target is willing. Only, they\'ll have already lost their intelligence after so much time passed, only remembering the promise from the past and thus becoming nothing more than monsters that defend this place.”
When he heard that, Zu An couldn\'t help but feel deep respect. These creatures were actually willing to be sealed here as statues! Just how were they able to make such a difficult decision? They had most likely done so precisely to guard the World Law Beacon. As for the Divine Dragon Immortal Medicine, it was something that had most likely only appeared in this place later on.
Earlier, Ka Qier had attacked the statues with the death energy of Hell and woken them up. Once they sensed the intrusion of creatures from beyond this world, they had naturally awakened to kill all of the foreign beings.
When Zu An realized that, he showed more leniency in his attacks. He only knocked the monsters away toward the others and didn’t kill them.
The other monsters also noticed that something was off with the way he was acting. They began to curse him.
This Lord of Myriad Transformations is absolutely despicable!

They also tried to send more monsters his way, but they lacked Zu An’s ability to control the sea, so their degree of control was much worse. If they used too much strength, it would easily draw the enmity of more of those reanimated creatures. Thus, the creatures completely ignored the Lord of Myriad Transformations and when right for them.
Zu An was looking for a chance to seize the Divine Dragon Immortal Medicine and World Law Beacon when he suddenly remembered something.
Wait, the three-headed, six-armed statues weren’t the last ones. There are still a few that have humanoid bodies and dragon tails...
Just then, a terrifying draconic cry resounded. The alien monsters and Hell creatures that had the lowest cultivations clutched their heads in pain.
Bang bang bang!
Suddenly, their heads exploded like melons!
Fortunately, Zu An reacted quickly enough and took Shang Liuyu into his arms. At the same time, he set up layers of defensive formations around himself.
Shang Liuyu staggered into his embrace. When she felt his body that was full of masculine power, her cheeks turned a bit red. But she knew that he definitely wasn\'t doing this to take advantage of her, so she didn’t struggle and cooperated in sticking to him.
Sure enough, when she saw the other monsters’ heads explode, sending red and white mush everywhere, her expression turned deathly pale. If not for Zu An’s protection, she could have experienced the same end. Even though she didn’t fear death, dying like that was still hard to accept.
Several streaks of golden light suddenly appeared in the palace. They were so fast that even Zu An almost didn’t see them clearly. Every single streak of golden light was actually a dragon-tailed humanoid creature! They looked identical to the statues from before. They seemed to be the strongest, which was why they had taken a bit longer to awaken.
But their auras were entirely different. They were full of golden light and gave off a terrifying air. It was almost as if they could communicate with each other telepathically. All of them rushed at the closest monster, the Firedevil Sea Beast.
The Firedevil Sea Beast’s fine hairs stood on end. Flames erupted ferociously from his body. The previously dim palace immediately lit up like daytime.
However, the intense light only persisted for an instant. Immediately after, there was a bitter scream. Several dragon-tailed humanoid creatures surrounded the Firedevil Sea Beast, each of them holding a trident in their hands. All of the tridents stabbed straight into the Firedevil Sea Beast’s body and raised him into the sky like meat on a barbecue skewer.
The Firedevil Sea Beast’s flames rapidly extinguished. Shortly after, his head drooped powerlessly, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
I didn’t even get to play with the Mermaid Queen, and yet I’m going to die here like this?
Screw it all!
Damn you, King of Myriad Transformations!

Everyone in the hall was shocked. Even someone as powerful as the Firedevil Sea Beast had died in this place!
The Bloodthirst Crocodile and the Shadowhorror Devil silently agreed to move closer together. They could already tell that these dragon-tailed humanoid creatures were extremely powerful, but if they were fought alone, they would still be a bit weaker.
However, the things were just too fast. Just now, they had suddenly ambushed the Firedevil Sea Beast while his attention was on the three-headed, six-armed creatures. A single moment of carelessness and he had been killed. If the remaining two let these guys surround them while alone, they would probably meet similar ends. Thus, only if they grouped up would they stand a chance.
They roared at Zu An and Ka Qier in shock and fury, “Lord of Myriad Transformations, Skin-Flaying King, we might all die here if we still don’t join hands!”
If these two attacked with all their strength, they would still have a chance to win. After all, the creatures seemed to only have their killing instincts left and didn’t have much intelligence. What they were worried about the most was that the two would continue to wait for the best moment to get all the benefits. If that happened, they could really be killed by the creatures.

“Hm? Where did the Skin-Flaying King go?” The two alien monsters were stunned, because they suddenly couldn\'t find Ka Qier anymore.
“He seems to have already fled further inside.” Zu An pointed at a cave inside.
The Skin-Flaying King had used the moment when the Firedevil Sea Beast was killed and everyone else\'s attention was diverted to secretly slip away.
“Why did you let him leave?” The Bloodthirst Crocodile and Shadowhorror Devil were about to faint from anger. After all, the reason Zu An had given for not helping them was because he was keeping an eye on the Skin Flaying King.

Zu An pointed at the platform and replied, “Isn’t our goal this World Law Beacon?”
At the same time, he added inwardly, and the Divine Dragon Immortal Medicine. That was what he cared about the most. He couldn\'t let it fall into the monsters’ hands.
The Bloodthirst Crocodile and Shadowhorror Devil choked.
What this guy says makes sense. We can’t seem to come up with any argument against him!
The Shadowhorror Devil reacted quickly and said, “Then you should head over here first. We’ll kill these things and complete our mission.”
Zu An chuckled and said, “I have another idea. Why don\'t you guys hold up these monsters, and then once I obtain the World Law Beacon and Divine Dragon Immortal Medicine, I’ll share them with you after?”
Even the less-sharp Bloodthirst Crocodile also realized what was happening.
Like hell we’ll believe you!
This guy was up to no good from the very start. He clearly wants to use us.
They wanted to stop him, but the reanimated creatures seemed to be dead set on them. They didn’t have the freedom to stop him at all.
Zu An didn’t hesitate at all. As soon as he said that, he used his instant movement skill to shift closer to the altar. He had been waiting for this chance. Now that the Skin-Flaying King had left and one alien monster had died, while two more were held up by these creatures, there was no better chance.
But his expression quickly changed. He discovered that as soon as he approached ten or so meters from the altar, he suddenly dropped out of the air. This was the first time Grandgale had failed!
There was clearly nothing in front of him, and yet it seemed as if the entire space was locked down. A tremendous pressure rushed at him.
Zu An frowned. Since he couldn\'t teleport, he\'d just charge straight in!
But as he continued forward, the pressure became stronger and stronger. Just then, a large bell projection appeared and surrounded his body.
The Tranquility Bell blocked the pressure, but as he took another three steps, cracks started to form on it. Then, it shattered to pieces with a loud noise.
