Chapter 262: Son of the Beast King, Fusion Beast!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Blood Flesh Mother Tree left with the fur shed by the Beast King. It left decisively, without any hesitation.
Clearly, it could not wait to transform this gift into combat strength.
This matter must not let the Giant Clan and the Insect Clan know about it.
The Mother Tree already had a plan on how to conceal it from the experts of the two clans.
Meanwhile Esek had fused into the glass jar.
Due to the presence of the purplish-black liquid, no one could see what had happened to Esek in the jar.
Other than the Corpse God, no one knew what was originally contained in this jar.
In any case, some things were quietly developing.
No one knew what kind of storm this series of events would stir up.
In the distant Archean City, no one knew what had happened in the depths of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
Hao Huang and Blade were somewhat irritable.
This was because they could not find any traces of Esek no matter how hard they looked. They just knew that Esek had a mission on this trip to the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and their mission was to thwart the plan of Esek and the Corpse Clan.
But now they could not find the person, so disrupting the plan was out of the question..
Lu Ming enjoyed peaceful days here.
This was because no one would disturb his seclusion cultivation.
Twelve days later.
Day 351 of the Black Mist Calendar.
Lu Ming had cultivated the Diamond Shield to the Divine Realm.
The special effect of the Body Protection Technique was obtained: Sharp Resistance.
At the same time, the frequency of flashes in the protective technique column on the attribute panel was increasing.
This gave Lu Ming a sense of enlightenment.
“One more.”
“I just need to cultivate one more Body Protection Technique, and the special effects integration will be completed!”
This time, Lu Ming chose a Physique Realm Body Protection Technique called the “Yin Yang Mirror.”
Two days later, on Day 353 of the Black Mist Calendar.
There was an abnormality in the abandoned laboratory of the Corpse God.
“Thud.”
“Thud.”
“Thud.”
Clear, crisp knocks sounded continuously from the jar.
The sound went from weak to strong, quickly becoming deafening.
With a bang, the jar exploded from the inside, and a large number of glass-like but definitely not glass fragments scattered all over the floor, along with the purplish-black liquid from the jar.
A roar that did not sound human emanated from the spot, echoing in the laboratory for a long time.
“I… I…”
“I didn’t disappoint the Corpse God!!”
One could see that the creature that spoke was a ferocious monster!
It had a height of nearly five meters, a shoulder width of three meters, and stood upright like an ape.
However, its lower body was unusually stout, with thighs over two meters in diameter, making its upper body look somewhat deformed.
The slightly smaller upper body, compared to the thighs, was covered with signs of decay, with purple-black hair sticking to the rotten flesh and blood, making it nauseating.
The two huge arms were long and powerful, extending all the way from the shoulders to the ground, with eight sharp claws deeply embedded in the soil, like knives.
And on its shoulder, it carried Esek’s head!
After the roar, the creature with Esek’s head slowly opened its eyes, and it could be clearly seen that its eyes were very blank, like a fool without consciousness.
However, soon, the blank look in its eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by a glimmer of light that emanated from the depths of its eyes, quickly occupying the entire eyeball.
“Exhale.”
With a breath that sounded like a violent wind, the monster stretched out its hand and gently tapped its head.
“Who… who am I…”
“I… I am Esek.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Esek’s consciousness returned at an extremely fast speed.
“Yes, I am Esek.”
“By the command of the Lord Corpse God, I came to the Hundred Thousand Mountains…”
With that said, Esek turned to look at the shattered jar behind him.
The corners of its mouth curled into a faint smile as its huge and ferocious claws slowly brushed across its body.
“Completing the fusion with the Son of the Beast King!”
“Then, 1’11 give the Giants and the Insectoids a huge surprise!”
It finally recalled the mission it was carrying out.
With that in mind, the newly reborn Esek strode out of the laboratory.
Faint purplish-black smoke began to emanate involuntarily from his body.
To anyone in the Black Mist Zone, the battle between the Insect Clan, Giant Clan and the Undead Clan was a huge matter.
The war of the three major clans stirred up countless storms.
Even for the gods, this matter was not insignificant.
As the strongest expert and protector of the Undead Clan, the Corpse God naturally had to intervene in this matter—although he could not directly intervene to avoid sparking a divine war, he could use some small means to influence the outcome of the battle to some extent.
Giving a gift to the Mother Tree could be considered one of these small means. Although Zero’s greatest goal was not for the battle of the three races, it would likely have a certain impact on the outcome.
And Esek was the main means by which Zero would influence the Three Clans’ war.
Zero was a scholar, and as a scholar, he had many peculiar research projects.
The research project in the depths of the Hundred Thousand Mountains was naturally the Beast King.
Before becoming a god, Zero had already obtained the fur of the Beast King. As a scholar, he naturally would not let go of such excellent research material.
Cloning was an excellent way to explore the power of the Beast King.
The creature In that huge jar was none other than the clone of the Beast King.
Unfortunately, this research project had been abandoned long ago.
This was because the cloned Beast King, also known as the Son of the Beast King, was not powerful at all. It was only at the Source Realm level and could not even reach the Ancient Realm.
After achieving godhood, Zero no longer considered this low-level and worthless project.
However, when Zero learned of the news about the Blood Flesh Mother Tree, things started to connect.
Given the nature of the Mother Tree, this piece of the Beast King’s fur was extremely useful to the Mother Tree. Therefore, Zero gave it to the Mother Tree.
In this laboratory, there was also a cloned Beast King at the Source Realm level.
After much thought, Zero decided to make use of waste.
Using a zombie with special abilities as the foundation, he could fuse it with the Son of the Beast King, creating a unique fusion monster with dual characteristics of a zombie and a Beast King! And with this method, he aimed to influence the course of the war between the three clans!
The fusion monster named Esek crawled out of the laboratory.
It had a clear goal and it quickly left the core area of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, entering the inner circle.
As it moved along its path, a faint purplish-black mist lingered, and did not dissipate for a long time.
It was not until Esek reached its designated location that it stood firm, took a breath, and then roared!
The violent soundwaves resonated and startled countless exotic creatures.
The sounds of crawling, running, and flying creatures echoed all around.
Soon, the first Source Realm exotic beast appeared next to Esek.
Exotic creatures at the Source Realm level already had intelligence comparable to sentient species. This creature resembling a colorful tiger stood not far from Esek, tilting its head as it looked at him.
“What… are you?”
Even from the perspective of exotic creatures, Esek looked quite ugly.
His odor was even more unpleasant.
However, for some reason, the colorful tiger could sense that there seemed to be a pressure in Esek’s body that only exotic creatures could sense.
It was this pressure that made the colorful tiger respond to the call of Esek and come to his side.
Esek ignored him.
The colorful tiger remained silent, only prostrating itself on the ground, without hostility, and even with a faint submissive gesture—although the colorful tiger didn’t understand why it was behaving this way…
Perhaps this was a kind of bloodline restraint.
Where there was one, there would be two.
Soon, a total of thirteen Source Realm exotic beasts appeared in front of Esek, scattered all around him.
At this moment, Esek finally smiled.
“For now, that’s enough.”
As Esek was muttering to himself, a large amount of purplish-black mist burst out from his battered upper body.
In the blink of an eye, the mist covered all the thirteen exotic beasts.
This mist was everywhere and infiltrated the exotic beasts’ bodies through their pores.
Soon, howls and roars rang out one after another.
Looking at the thirteen Source Realm exotic beasts struggling but unwaveringly transforming into zombie beasts, Esek suddenly burst into maniacal laughter!
“Beast King, command the beasts!”
“Zombies, infect the living!”
“Both complement each other, mutually reinforce, and evolve together!”
“Lord Corpse God, did you see that? Your research has succeeded!!”
