Chapter 442: The Great Hunting Mission
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After ordering the Magical Beast Military Factory to be built and mobilizing all of his resources in capturing a large number of Magical Beasts, as well as putting all his efforts in creating weapons and equipment to be used specifically by the Magical Beast Army, Yang Ling instructed the Beastman Priest Augustus to try his best to create powerful mutated Magical Beasts, then left the Wizard Pagoda’s Space to train silently.
After having advanced to the level of high-level Divine Wizard and absorbing a large amount of Soul Energy, he was only a step away from advancing to the level of Soul Wizard. As long as he managed to break through this bottleneck and advance to the level of Soul Wizard, his Golden Soul Liquid would crystallize and form the Soul Crystal, boosting the level of his abilities multiple times. When that time comes, he would have even greater confidence when it came to dealing with the powerful Divine-level Experts in this world.
After training the entire night, Yang Ling slowly opened his eyes at the break of dawn, just as the chilly winds of the morning blew past.
With the help of the Great Wizard Altar, he had absorbed a large amount of energy from the stars. Under the effects of the Body Honing Wizard Mantra, his physical body had become increasingly stronger. The poisonous stingers of the Horned Bee Beasts could not pierce into his body even if he stood without moving and did not cast the protective Wizard Mantra, nor could the poisonous fangs of the spiders leave a mark. His defensive capabilities reached an even more alarming state after he wore the Ice-sealing Armor and cast Ground Guardian.
Just how much would his physical body be strengthened if he continued to train like this?


After twisting a rod made of Star Metal with a little force, Yang Ling let out a satisfied smile. According to the records on the Stele, a top-notch ancient Wizard Warrior can flip over mountains and seas with his bare fists, or even topple the majestic Mt. Buzhou as the Grand Wizard had done. Even though he was still a great distance away from becoming a top-notch Wizard Warrior, Yang Ling was already satisfied that his physical body could be strengthened to such a degree in a short period of time.
His physical body was getting stronger and stronger, but sadly, he was unable to break through the last hurdle of Divine Wizard no matter how hard he tried. His Golden Soul Liquid could not crystallize to form the Soul Crystal for the longest time. If he could not break through to the level of Soul Wizard, he would be unable to grasp deeper Soul Wizard Techniques.
Where can I absorb even more Soul Energy?
Yang Ling creased his brow. He definitely needed a massive amount of Soul Energy if he wanted to evolve to become a powerful Soul Wizard. Unfortunately for him, even though he knew what the problem was, where was he going to find that much Soul Energy in such a short span of time? The souls of the clones of evil demons were powerful, and the soul of Fabris was even more so. However, these opportunities did not come by every day.
Perhaps I might have some unexpected gains if I could one day take a trip to the Dimension of Dead Souls or the so-called City Amongst the Clouds!
Recalling the Divine-level Magical Beast Golden Roc that he had kept in the Wizard Pagoda’s Space, Yang Ling had a thought. According to Fabris’s memories, the Tailun Continent was but an ordinary physical dimension. There was a massive, unimaginable world outside of the continent. There were violent Space Turbulences, countless rare and strange physical dimensions, as well as core dimensions where plenty of powerful fighters reside.
Between the dimensions were the violent Space Turbulences which can instantly tear even Divine-level Experts apart. An average person would have to thank their lucky stars if they even managed to pass through the Space Crack to a dimension with rich Magical Elements. But to Yang Ling, with the Divine-level Magical Beast Golden Roc, it was not impossible for him to freely travel through the various dimensions!
The Golden Roc was huge. If the Dark Dragon King was a fighter jet, then the Golden Roc was akin to an aircraft carrier. Its giant claws were double the height of an average human. It had hard, tightly knit scales that even the Blood Elf Dagger could not puncture, as well as a wingspan of over a thousand meters…The feeling it gave someone was shock upon shock! When the group saw it for the first time, even the Dark Dragon King and Corpse Wizard King were dazed for some time, much less the Beastman Priest Augustus.
No one could imagine just how terrifying this massive Divine Beast would be when it woke up!
Unfortunately, the Space Ion Storm it encountered tens of thousands of years ago had inflicted it with many injuries, as well as exhausted it. Following that, the great battle with the mysterious elder at the Graveyard of Deities and Demons had caused it to suffer a great deal of fatal damage. Through his powerful senses, Yang Ling not only realized that it had suffered from countless external injuries, the organ in its body had also been inflicted with fatal wounds.


It had a ten-meter-long gash on its left wing, the wound so deep that it was exposed. Its entire wing was almost broken. The flesh on its back was bloody, its spine covered in cracks, some even fiercely chopped into pieces; It had a gaping wound on its stomach, its intestines almost oozing out…It was covered in wounds. No one could imagine just how it could tear open the Space Crack and bring the Pharaoh and his group away from the terrifying Graveyard of Deities and Demons despite suffering from such serious external and internal injuries back then.
There were bolts of gold light within the body of the Golden Roc, severely limiting the range of Yang Ling’s senses. Yang Ling was unable to examine its brain even after trying several times.
Could this be the divine power of the Golden Roc?
After failing to infiltrate the defenses of the Golden Roc’s soul despite trying multiple times, Yang Ling had no choice but to give up. Originally, he had planned to use the Soul Summoning Spell to dispel the seal the Golden Roc had placed on itself and get it to wake up. However, it would seem that that would not be easy. He could perhaps see if there were better ways to do it after he advanced to the level of Soul Wizard.
Furthermore, the injuries of the Golden Roc were too serious. They might not be able to get it to display any battle capabilities if they forced it to wake up before treating its wounds. Perhaps, it would even cause its injuries to worsen, rendering it completely dead.
After deliberating it for a moment, in order to one day be able to ride on the Golden Roc and traverse through the various dimensions, Yang Ling decided to spend a great deal of Wizard Power and Mental Energy to move the creature to an area near the Wizard’s Pagoda. He allowed it to bathe within the white fog released by the Wizard’s Pagoda and slowly recover from its severe injuries.
After Yang Ling released the mission statement that he would buy Magical Beasts of any level at a high price, a commotion quickly swept over the Hunter Association. Several people moved overnight, capturing Magical Beasts of various sizes within the Amazon Forest and Terras Forest. Some worked alone, but most of the people formed small teams of hunters and headed deep into the forest to capture mid to high-level Magical Beasts. After all, compared to low-level Magical Beasts, the rewards for high-level Magical Beasts were several times higher.
After receiving the news, many of the troops and adventurers also took action. Goode did not reject the Magical Beasts they sent over, but of course, he naturally offered a lower reward as compared to the hunters. Since that was the case, many of the people asked hunters they were familiar with for help after capturing a Magical Beast, asking them to hand it to Goode on their behalf. Some even applied to join the Hunter Association overnight, forming a long line outside the association.
One night later, more and more Magical Beasts made it to the hands of the Beastman Priest Augustus, with the greatest number of them being low-level Magical Beasts such as Vampire Bats, Horned Bee Beasts and spiders. There was also no shortage of mid-level Magical Beasts such as Golden Back Lizards and Violent Earth Bears. However, there was not even a single high-level Magical Beast.
After toiling for a few hours, Augustus created a full fifty Flying Spiders using the Beast Soul Altar, as well as several failed experiments. Some lizards grew wings, mutated Evil Eyes that crawled on the ground like snakes…There was a good variety of them, but they offered little in terms of value.


Ancient Agarwood was hard to come by. In order to create powerful mutated Magical Beasts, Augustus was unwilling to spend too much of the Agarwood on the low-level Magical Beasts. This directly increased the rate of failure of the creation process!

Sir, do you have any way of capturing a few high-level Magical Beasts back for me to experiment?
After failing to achieve any breakthroughs and being unable to create any Magical Beasts more powerful than the Flying Spiders, Augustus quickly looked for Yang Ling, who was researching how best to allow the Golden Roc to recover as soon as possible. Even though he was exhausted, his footsteps unsteady, Augustus was blushing as if he had just consumed some Viagra.
High-level Magical Beasts?
Seeing Augustus look toward the base of Dark Dragons and Twin-legged Flying Dragons not far away from time to time, seeing how indirect he was being, Yang Ling quickly understood his intentions, realizing that he had set his sights on the Dark Dragons and Twin-legged Flying Dragons. The Dark Dragon King and Flying Dragon King Seylius were powerful Magical Beasts by his side, and he had a close relationship with them. That alone made it such that Augustus did not dare touch the Dark Dragons and Twin-legged Flying Dragons without permission. However, it was different if he obtained the support of Yang Ling.

Augustus, continue experimenting with the low-level Magical Beasts for the time being!
Yang Ling continued after a moment’s deliberation,
I’ll figure out an idea regarding the high-level Magical Beasts. I’ll capture some for your experiments over the next few days!

The Dark Dragon King and Twin-legged Flying Dragons were the main forces by his side. Even if he did not have the resistance of the Dark Dragon King and Flying Dragon King, Yang Ling would not easily use them as experiments. Since the abilities of the hunters were limited and were unable to capture any high-level Magical Beasts within a short span of time, then he had to personally make the trip.
The Terras Forest spanned tens of thousands of miles, with various tall mountains and winding rivers. There were countless low-level Magical Beasts, as well as no shortage of high-level Magical Beasts. In fact, several people had even witnessed powerful Level Surpassing Magical Beasts. In the past, because of his limited ability, he had not dared to explore deep within the forest. Now that he had advanced to become a high-level Divine Wizard, his abilities had improved by leaps and bounds, and it was time for him to explore the deeper regions of the forest fully.
It would be great if he managed to encounter Level Surpassing Magical Beasts, and he would be able to defend himself if he encountered a powerful Divine-level Magical Beast, even if he would not be able to tame it!

Rodriguez, gather the Dark Dragon King, Ymort, and the rest of the people. Let’s take a walk deep within the Terras Forest together!
If he was going to head deep into the forest, he was going to go all out. In order to capture high-level Magical Beasts as well as Level Surpassing Magical Beasts, Yang Ling decided to mobilize all of the elites by his side, launching an unprecedented hunting mission.

Sir, you mean…
The Corpse Wizard King had a glint in his eyes. High-level Magical Beasts harbored a large amount of Blood Essence and powerful Soul Energy and were immensely beneficial to the recovery of his abilities. He would at least get a little bit out of this mission with Yang Ling.



Spring is almost over. It’s about time we hunted at the backyard of the Magical Beast Territory!
Yang Ling smiled as he looked at the excited Corpse Wizard King, filled with anticipation for the mission that was to come.
In the eyes of many people, the Terras Forest, where Magical Beasts roamed, was a perilous place, with many people expecting to die if they entered the deeper regions of the Terras Forest. However, in his eyes, the Terras Forest was the source of his power. It was the natural barrier and backyard of the Magical Beast Territory.
