Chapter 1522 - 1455: Growing Stronger

Actually, from a certain perspective, subduing Beast Emperors like the Ant Emperor is even more worthwhile than obtaining Divine Artifacts or Divine Arts here.

Because whether it's Divine Artifacts or Divine Arts, they all have limitations.

Like the war technique.

Lower Class war technique only has the power of a Lower Class war technique.

Middle Grade war technique only has the power of a Middle Grade war technique.

Even a Top Grade war technique only possesses the power of a Top Grade war technique; no matter how defiant it is, it can't exhibit the might of a Divine Art.

But fierce beasts like the Ant Emperor are different.

They have intelligence, talent, and can constantly elevate through cultivation.

In short.

They are able to grow.

And who knows, maybe one day, a War God could be born among them.

Therefore.

These are stocks with potential.

"I, I, I…"

Meanwhile.

Faced with tremendous temptation, the Crocodile Emperor stammered, indecisive.

"If you don't follow the Boss, you have only one path: death."

"Follow the Boss, and not only can you preserve your life, but you'll also gain plenty of benefits."

"I really don't know, what's there to hesitate about?"

The Ant Emperor continued to coax.

"I…"

The Crocodile Emperor glanced at the Ant Emperor, then looked at Qin Feiyang, gritted its teeth abruptly, quickly shrinking its enormous body to the size of a palm, dashed in front of Qin Feiyang, and shouted: "Boss, I surrender."

"Haha…"

"Crocodile Emperor, oh Crocodile Emperor, I thought you had more backbone, turns out that's all you got!"

"Remember how you mocked us before? Doesn't it feel like a slap in the face now?"

The Ant Emperor and the other beast burst into laughter.

The Crocodile Emperor felt somewhat embarrassed.

Qin Feiyang chuckled: "Alright, alright, from now on we're family; let the past grievances disappear with the wind!"

"Little Crocodile, did you hear that?"

"If you dare bully us again, the Boss won't let you off."

The Ant Emperor said smugly.

"Tch!"

"Can you stop using Boss as a shield? If you have the guts, face me one-on-one?"

The Crocodile Emperor sneered dismissively.

The Ant Emperor said: "Sorry, we're civilized beasts, always prefer words over fists."

"Get lost."

The Crocodile Emperor glared at it, looked up at Qin Feiyang, and smiled ingratiatingly: "Boss, when will you open the Door of Potential for me? I've lived so long and still don't know what the Door of Potential looks like!"

"Hold on, isn't there supposed to be an order for everything?"

"You open the Door of Potential after us, you know?"

The Ant Emperor angrily said.

"Unconvinced?"

"Face-off then!"

"What? Afraid?"

"No skill, then shut up and take a beating."

The Crocodile Emperor replied contemptuously.

"You…"

The Ant Emperor was extremely irritated.

We're already on the same side, yet it doesn't show me any face?

Qin Feiyang observed the three beasts, turned to look at the Phoenix Tower lady, and smiled wryly: "Well, I feel like it's another bunch of Top Grades."

"Not enough Top Grades around you?"

The Phoenix Tower lady sneered.

Qin Feiyang smiled helplessly and looked at the Crocodile Emperor: "First, abolish cultivation."

"Abolish cultivation for what?"

The Crocodile Emperor was stunned and asked suspiciously.

"Of course, it's to control you with the Enslavement Mark."

The Ant Emperor briefly explained the situation about the Enslavement Mark.

After listening.

The Crocodile Emperor's eyes instantly filled with anger, glaring at Qin Feiyang: "I always keep my word, and you still don't trust me?"

"You keep your word?"

"Come on!"

"Don't we know your character?"

The Ant Emperor and the other beasts sniggered at it.

"I say, you two scumbags, really asking for a beating?"

The Crocodile Emperor furiously retorted.

"Feeling guilty, huh?"

"You can only deceive someone who doesn't know you well, like the Boss."

The two beasts said.

Qin Feiyang felt a chill in his heart.

The Ant Emperor and the other beast have known the Crocodile Emperor for many years, they definitely know its character quite well.

And from their demeanor now, it doesn't seem like they are joking.

Seems like I need to be cautious.

"Ahem!"

Qin Feiyang cleared his throat, smiled calmly at the Crocodile Emperor: "You can never be too careful, especially when dealing with fierce beasts. But I won't always control you; when I fully trust you, I will help you remove the Enslavement Mark."

The Crocodile Emperor was still a bit hesitant.

"Don't tell me you're really hiding something?"

The Ant Emperor asked.

"You're the one hiding something!"

The Crocodile Emperor roared furiously.

"Hey!"

"Boss isn't going to kill you, just wants to prevent you from suddenly betraying."

"If you're truly sincere in following Boss, what are you afraid of?"

The Ant Emperor teased.

"Who says I'm afraid?"

"It's just an Enslavement Mark, what do I fear?"

The Crocodile Emperor roared indignantly and immediately abolished its Qi Sea.

Qin Feiyang immediately dispersed all Divine Arts, formed hand seals, controlling the Crocodile Emperor.

At this point.

Everyone finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

Ling Yu clasped his fists and laughed: "Brother Qin, congratulations! Another warrior added to your forces."

Qin Feiyang laughed, took out a Spiritual Sea Pill, and gave it to the Crocodile Emperor.

After taking the Spiritual Sea Pill, the Crocodile Emperor looked admiringly at Qin Feiyang, its fierce eyes filled with longing.

The Phoenix Tower lady leaned down, stroking the Crocodile Emperor's small head, and laughed: "This guy is indeed quite cute."

The Crocodile Emperor immediately retorted angrily: "Filthy woman, my head isn't for you to touch! Get your filthy paws off!"

"Uh!"

Qin Feiyang was taken aback, his eyes showing a hint of schadenfreude.

This woman, even he doesn't dare to offend her, yet she's bold enough to publicly insult her? Isn't this just asking for trouble?

As expected.

The Crocodile Emperor soon learned what it means for life to be worse than death, and before the Phoenix Tower's lady, he was as obedient as a little lamb.

Qin Feiyang shook his head with a smile, turned to Ling Yu and Lo Dan, and said, "Let the Kunpeng set off!"

"Alright."

Ling Yu nodded, walked atop the Kunpeng's head, and gently patted its head, asking concernedly, "Is your injury better?"

"Almost."

Kunpeng replied.

Ling Yu smiled and said, "Then let's go!"

Kunpeng nodded and then slowly dragged its massive body, swimming toward the northeast.

But very quickly.

Kunpeng stopped.

Because the surrounding crocodile herd hadn't dispersed, encircling them tightly.

Qin Feiyang and his group immediately looked at the Crocodile Emperor.

The Crocodile Emperor raised an eyebrow, looked at the surrounding crocodile herd, and shouted, "What are you trying to do? Rebel?"

The crocodile herd quickly shook their heads in fear.

A ferocious Nine-Star War Emperor crocodile asked, "Crocodile Emperor, are you really going to leave with that human?"

The Crocodile Emperor nodded.

"What will happen to us if you leave?"

The crocodile herd panicked.

"What will happen?"

"Can't you survive without me?"

The Crocodile Emperor snapped.

The crocodile herd immediately lowered their heads.

The Crocodile Emperor sighed deeply and said, "Actually, I don't want to leave you, but after staying here all these years, I do want to go out for a walk. During my absence, everything remains as before."

"Yes."

The crocodile herd nodded.

"Also, Qin Feiyang is now my boss, so he is your big brother too. You must obey his words, understand?"

The Crocodile Emperor shouted.

"Yes."

The crocodile herd respectfully responded, then looked at Qin Feiyang uniformly, shouting, "Greetings, Big Brother!"

Tens of thousands of ferocious crocodiles roared in unison, portraying a truly spectacular scene.

"His foundation is getting stronger and stronger."

Watching this, Ling Yu transmitted to Lo Dan.

Lo Dan smiled contently.

"Alright then, disperse!"

"Wait, if you see other humans, don't show them any mercy, kill them all."

The Crocodile Emperor said, with menacing ferocity.

"Ferocious Crocodile, what do you mean by this?"

"Are other humans related to you? Why say not to show them mercy?"

The crocodile herd looked at it, puzzled.

"No sense of humor, didn't you see I was joking?"

The Crocodile Emperor rolled its eyes.

"Joking?"

The crocodile herd was helpless.

Indeed, it wasn't obvious.

And it wasn't funny at all.

"Crocodile Emperor, take care."

Then.

The crocodile herd started leaving group by group.

Kunpeng also carried Qin Feiyang and his group, continuing forward.

"Big Brother, I've got something to say!"

But suddenly.

A voice shouted anxiously from behind.

Qin Feiyang was startled, turned to look, and saw it was the ferocious crocodile that brought him here.

The ferocious crocodile called out, "Big Brother, we've been through hard times, won't you take me along?"

"Been through hard times?"

"What do you mean?"

The Crocodile Emperor looked at Qin Feiyang suspiciously.

Qin Feiyang didn't explain.

Because with the Crocodile Emperor's temper, if it knew the crocodile brought him here, it might just kill it on the spot.

Qin Feiyang looked at the ferocious crocodile and smiled, "Don't follow me, but given our acquaintance, I won't leave you empty-handed."

Speaking.

Qin Feiyang took out three Spiritual Sea Pills and Soul Origin Pills from his bosom, placed them in an iron box, and tossed it to the ferocious crocodile.

He then lifted the enslavement mark.

Kunpeng then swiftly carried Qin Feiyang away.

"Ah!"

The ferocious crocodile sighed, collected the iron box quietly, turned around, and left, its figure appearing somewhat forlorn.

It wanted to go with Qin Feiyang.

But it knew.

Qin Feiyang wouldn't care for its level of strength.

"Cultivate well, we'll meet again."

But suddenly.

A familiar voice echoed in its mind.

The ferocious crocodile was immediately invigorated, turned to look at Qin Feiyang's departing figure, its vast eyes filled with delight.

Meanwhile!

Atop Kunpeng.

The Crocodile Emperor looked at Qin Feiyang and said, "Boss, do you have any divine techniques suitable for my cultivation?"

Ant Emperor shouted, "Little Crocodile, wait your turn!"

"Shut up."

The Crocodile Emperor impatiently snapped coldly, then looked expectantly at Qin Feiyang.

Seeing its eager demeanor, Qin Feiyang couldn't help but smile, shaking his head, "Not now, but don't worry, once I find a divine art suitable for you, you'll be the first to get it. But concerning your armor..."

"Let me tell you, although I am with you now, don't think about taking my armor."

"Because it has been with me for many years and has saved me countless times."

"In my heart, it is as important as my life."

The Crocodile Emperor took a few steps back, watching Qin Feiyang warily.

Qin Feiyang was quite surprised, he hadn't expected the Crocodile Emperor to have such a deep bond with this armor.

It is also evident that although the Crocodile Emperor is inherently ferocious, it values loyalty greatly.

Still.

For him, the armor isn't that important now.

After all, the Crocodile Emperor is already with him, wearing it doesn't make a difference either way.

And Zhou Zheng and Li Jian beside him kept observing the three beasts of the Crocodile Emperor, their eyes shining.

Suddenly.

The two exchanged a glance, approached Qin Feiyang, and said softly with a smile, "Young Master, there's something we want to discuss with you."
