Chapter 137: Awakening and Conclusion
“Ding! Eagleback’s hostility value has reached maximum. The twenty-fourth Death Pact has been successfully activated.”
Gu Feng extended his palm toward Eagleback, who ignored him and roared, “Die!”
Gu Feng spoke softly, “Self-destruct.”
With a thunderous explosion, both sides ceased fighting.
“Ding! The twenty-fourth Death Pact completed. Speed doubled.”
The Great Black Python Tribe brimmed with anticipation.
The Black Eagle Tribe members wore anxious expressions.
As the dust settled, Gu Feng revived in place and glanced at the Black Eagle King.
The Black Eagle King shuddered; yet another expert had fallen. Looking at Gu Feng, he seemed like a monster.
Now, he alone was no match for Aili, let alone with Gu Feng, who could instantly kill a Peak Spirit Sovereign.
“Retreat!”
The Black Eagle Tribe warriors spread their wings and fled.
Such a golden opportunity—how could Aili let it slip away?
She ordered, “Kill them. Annihilate the Black Eagle Tribe.”
Gu Feng executed a flash step, blocking the cave entrance.
The retreating Black Eagle Tribe gazed upon Gu Feng as if seeing a demon, trembling with fear.
The Black Eagle King was equally terrified, roaring, “Move aside!”
“Eagle King Peck!”
A giant eagle beak shot toward Gu Feng.
With his doubled speed and system’s flaw guidance, Gu Feng dodged the Black Eagle King’s attack.
Wielding the newly exchanged superior greatsword, Gu Feng unleashed a sword technique, charging at the Black Eagle King.
The Black Eagle King, unprepared for Gu Feng's fearlessness, lunged with his claws—his sharpest weapon.
Crack, crack, crack...
With one sword strike, the Black Eagle King’s claws were severed.
Gu Feng was slammed backward by the King’s immense strength. Despite using his weapon to sever the claws, Gu Feng was no match—there was a vast gap in their realms.
“Die, you wretched human!”
“Ding! Black Eagle King’s hostility value has reached maximum. The twenty-fifth Death Pact activated.”
A faint smile crossed Gu Feng’s lips as he softly said, “Self-destruct.”
Another boom echoed as the Black Eagle King followed the same fate.
“Ding! The twenty-fifth Death Pact completed. Power increased by 100,000.”
The remaining Black Eagle Tribe members were slaughtered by the Great Black Python Tribe.
Once the carnage ended, all the Great Black Python Tribe members bowed deeply before Gu Feng.
The ancestral scriptures had spoken of the Saint Sovereign—he truly existed, and it was the Saint Sovereign who saved them.
Aili approached Gu Feng, bowing deeply, her heart now fully convinced—not just because of the ancestral teachings.
“Rise. I’ve been away too long; it’s time to return.”
“Saint Sovereign, we will go with you.”
“Well...” Gu Feng hesitated. Having so many Great Black Pythons close by might be troublesome.
“Saint Sovereign, only by following you can our Great Black Python Tribe regain the glory of our ancestors. Please take us in.”
All the Great Black Python Tribe members knelt earnestly before Gu Feng.
“System, is there any way to settle them?”
“Ding! Subduing a tribe grants you a tribal land. Your tribal land is within the system’s Life Space.”
Gu Feng opened the system’s Life Space and indeed found a sizable tribal land. The spiritual energy was dense—perfect for cultivation. Unfortunately, the host could only enter it mentally.
With a place to settle the Great Black Python Tribe, Gu Feng was naturally willing to carry an army with him.
“Alright, since you insist on following me, gather your people. I will send you to a place far better suited for your cultivation.”
Aili handed Gu Feng a bracelet.
“Saint Sovereign, this contains all the treasures of our Great Black Python Tribe.”
Gu Feng took it and examined its contents: countless spirit stones of low, medium, high, and even top-grade quality, along with various materials. The system estimated the value at over 100 million points.
In other words, the Great Black Python Tribe’s accumulated wealth was considerable.
At this moment, Gu Feng felt a pang of regret. The Black Eagle King was killed by the Death Pact explosion, and all the benefits went to the system.
Reluctantly, the Great Black Python Tribe gathered on the palace's outer square, preparing to leave the place they had survived in for thousands of years. Every member wore a gloomy expression.
Gu Feng turned to Aili. “Are all the tribe members assembled?”
Aili scanned the square. “All accounted for.”
Gu Feng raised a hand to signal silence, then said, “Listen carefully. Relax your minds and do not resist. You will be taken to a place ten or even a hundred times better than this one.”
Seeing everyone ready, Gu Feng commanded the system, “Transfer them into the tribal Life Space.”
A terrifying pressure descended upon all the Great Black Python Tribe members, and they found themselves immobilized.
When they regained movement, they appeared in a picturesque land of clear mountains and waters, brimming with thick spiritual energy.
Stunned, they soaked in the abundant spiritual aura.
Gu Feng entered the Life Space mentally and said to Aili, “From now on, this is your new home. I leave the details to you. I have other matters and won’t disturb you.”
Exiting the Life Space, Gu Feng cast one last glance at the majestic palace before leaving the Serpent’s Lair.
Arriving at Dragon City, the ancient capital of the Dragon family, Gu Feng met Long Wenwu and his group at the city gates.
They had been intending to find Gu Feng in the Serpent’s Lair.
Long Xue’er hurried over, scrutinizing Gu Feng with concern. “Are you alright?”
Gu Feng smiled. “Do I look like someone in trouble?”
Long Wenwu asked, “Did the Great Black Python Tribe trouble you?”
“How could they? I’m so handsome they were all captivated by my charm. They insisted on following me, so I had no choice but to accept them. The Serpent’s Lair will have no more Great Black Pythons from now on.”
Gu Dongliu approached Gu Feng excitedly. “Boss, I have good news for you.”
Gu Feng rolled his eyes. “What good news could you have?”
“Boss, don’t underestimate me. There are rumors spreading like wildfire: an entrance to Dragon Abyss has appeared in the Flame Desert. Now all the great warriors of the wilderness are rushing there.”
Gu Feng turned to Long Wenwu. “Is this true?”
Long Wenwu nodded.
Gu Feng’s excitement grew. “Then let’s go check it out!”
“Boss, the Flame Desert is a month’s journey from here. If we fly there, the Dragon Abyss will have vanished long ago.”
“Then why are you still so excited?”
“I just believe, Boss, that you have a way.”
“Sigh.”
Gu Feng sighed, too. Fortunately, the Great Black Python Tribe had given him over 100 million points, enough to redeem a means of transportation.
He exchanged for a superior mid-grade spirit artifact—a spaceship worth 50 million points. It required spirit stones as fuel; the higher the grade of the stones, the faster the speed.
After obtaining the spaceship, Gu Feng called out, “Everyone, get on.”
Everyone eagerly boarded. Gu Feng inserted a top-grade spirit stone.
With a mighty roar, “Take off!”
Boom!
The spaceship roared to life, transforming into a streak of light flying toward the Flame Desert.
