Village Head's Debauchery-Chapter 1280 The Race With The Strongest Potential, The Calamity

1280 The Race With The Strongest Potential, The Calamity

Even the Spirit Beast took note of it and began to use it among themselves, as it could showcase their strength without revealing their actual age when they didn't want to. The god was one of the many gods who ascended to true godhood and vanished after the emergence of the Divine Mysteries. Thus, his name has been forgotten in the annals of history, and only his immense contribution remains.

Spirit Beasts also utilised a unique energy called Spiritual Energy. This energy could only be found in the Spirit Realm and harnessed by Spirit Beasts. Regardless of how powerful an energy was, its ranking was based on who could wield it, and when compared to a capable figure of the same level wielding another energy, only then could a proper ranking be determined. However, when either side's strength was halved during an encounter, whether in the Spirit Realm or the Material Realm, it was impossible to get an accurate result. So, Spiritual Energy wasn't part of the official energy rankings.

Orion suspected that, in an unofficial ranking, it would likely be in the top four, right below Primordial, Vylkr, and Divine Energy.

The nature of the spirit beasts depended on the layer of the spirit realm in which they were born. Spirit Beasts born in the Lower Layer were malevolent due to their vicious nature. The atmosphere was harsh and unforgiving, and even the territories gained sentience, inflicting harm or devouring Spirit Beasts mindlessly. It was said that life in the Lower Layer was much crueller than in the Middle and Upper Layers. Considering how tough it was to survive in the Middle Layer, it was already unnerving to think about how treacherous survival in the Lower Layer must be. Spirit Beasts born in the Middle Layer could be either benevolent or malevolent. Of course, the nature of both parents influenced which one their offspring would inherit, but in most cases, it was still left to chance. Sometimes, they possessed a dual nature and could hide behind either, given the situation. Spirit Beasts in the Upper Layer were solely benevolent. Despite their nature, there was still fierce competition for survival among them. However, it was a relatively more peaceful layer, where even the Four-eared Elves could send their children unsupervised once they came of age.

In terms of potential and strength as a race below the Omnithriallians, Spirit Beasts were undoubtedly number one.

Orion couldn't help but wonder if this was why Naka had begun working on the Divine Crest to consume Spirit Beasts—perhaps as an alternative after his experiment with Vylkr energy had resulted in failure.

Nonetheless, Orion didn't want to waste time going from one location to another if all the Spirit Beasts were at this level. He would instead return to the White Winged Gryphon floating island and focus on ascending through demigodhood, sending his bonded servants to deal with the Secluded Spirit Beasts. While they awaited the Celestial Spirit Court's retaliation.

"No, Ice Fortress is a strong Spirit Beast in the Floating Frost Valley, but he isn't the strongest. The strongest is an Astrociat-ranked Spirit Beast. No one knows where they reside now or if they are still in the Floating Frost Valley. The last time they were spotted was near the Inferno Quill Hedgehog land, the Ember Caverns," Iy'yra responded.

"From what I've gathered, the Celestial Spirit Court forces attempted to eliminate them, seeing them as a threat to their control over the valley, but they failed. The Astrociat-ranked Spirit Beast escaped their siege, choosing not to battle, and hasn't been seen since. They didn't intervene in the annexation of the territory, so the Celestial Spirit Court gave up searching for them, assuming they used the opportunity to flee and focused their resources on the tribes instead," Iy'yra explained.

Astrociat-ranked Spirit Beasts were aged between 3,000 and 6,000 years. At this level, Spirit Beasts began to undergo transformations every thousand years, eventually stepping into the realm of the divine and capable of standing face-to-face against Divine Apostles and Demigods.

Orion was sure that the early transformations, occurring within the first few thousand years, were comparable to 5-star and 6-star warriors. He was confident, having stepped into demigodhood after forging his own 6 Vylkr container.

Even with his strength halved, Orion was confident that he could defeat an Astrociat-ranked Spirit Beast with the help of Vylkr energy without exhausting himself.

"How powerful is this Astrociat-ranked Spirit Beast?" Orion asked, his voice curious.

Iy'yra shook her head in response. "I don't know. It's difficult to obtain information about Spirit Beasts of such a rank unless one was born in the same era as them. If they don't want to be found, they won't be. Even the Celestial Spirit Court won't waste their resources searching for them, as they would suffer much greater losses if they were to enter battle with such a Spirit Beast."

"Okay, take us to where they were last seen," Orion replied.

Iy'yra nodded but didn't move, causing Orion to raise an eyebrow. After a brief hesitation, she asked, "Is that man a Divine Apostle?" Her eyes drifted towards the unconscious man floating in the air behind them.

Upon hearing her words, Orion's eyes slightly widened.

Even Zera and Fifi showed a strong reaction.

"You know about Divine Apostles?" Orion asked, his tone filled with suspicion. Knowing about divine apostles was one thing, as they were common among divine beings. Considering that divine beings frequently visited the Spirit Realm, it wasn't surprising that they knew about Divine Apostles. But it was something else entirely to connect the dots after witnessing an individual consume a Spirit Beast.

Iy'yra nodded. Sensing the delicacy of the topic, she chose her words carefully. "Thousands of years ago, a calamity descended upon the Floating Frost Valley and other nearby regions. A few individuals from the Material Realm possessed a unique ability to consume Spirit Beasts, utilising their essence to empower themselves. They had the power to easily battle Knight-ranked Spirit Beasts and above, showing no mercy to surrounding regions."

"Noticing their unstoppable momentum and unique ability, several higher-ranked Spirit Beasts chose to flee, abandoning their territories rather than face them in battle. They left after several centuries, but the damage was already done. Only a tenth of the Spirit Beasts in the region and others remained."

"To avoid such a terrifying calamity if it transpired again, many Spirit Beasts and tribes chose to migrate far away. Because of this, the strength of the Floating Frost Valley and the surrounding regions is weak."

"Some had speculated that it was because of this that the Celestial Spirit Court rose, seeing it as an opportunity to begin annexing the regions one by one. If such an event hadn't transpired, perhaps they wouldn't have dared to take such brazen actions."

Orion calmly processed her words. He and Ilse had chosen this region after surveying the other Spiritual Link Points because the Spirit Beasts here were weaker compared to other regions. The first one they surveyed, for example, had a six-legged moose that withstood several of Ilse's attacks before being defeated.

This region seemed like a better place to begin their exploration. However, he hadn't expected such an unexpected event to have taken place in this region of the Spirit Realm.

"Are you certain about this?" Orion asked, seeking confirmation.

"Yes, I'm sure," Iy'yra nodded repeatedly. "You can ask anyone, and they'll tell you the same thing." She glanced at the other White Winged Gryphons, desperately seeking their support.

"They're not just rumours. This is the truth of what happened!"

"It's been the talk of the valley for generations!"

They quickly spoke up, one by one, lending their voices to support Iy'yra's words.

Orion frowned deeply. The more they grew stronger and solved problems, the more new ones would emerge, each one on the same level or slightly bigger than the last. The weight of needing to grow stronger and overcome these obstacles increased once more. However, Orion didn't feel overwhelmed. He had the entirety of Paradise to stand with him and help solve them.

"Do you remember the name they called themselves?" Zera asked.

Sensing the intense gaze of the woman who exuded a formidable aura, Iy'yra couldn't help but feel her skin crawl.

Nonetheless, she shook her head in response. "No, I don't know what they called themselves. All those who knew their name may be either dead or have migrated far away," Iy'yra answered.

Zera nodded and remained silent.

"I wasn't certain if a member of your group was one of those Divine Apostles, and that's why I spoke up. If such information is released to others, not only would they begin to doubt your intentions, but they might also suspect that you are related to them," Iy'yra said.

"However, from the time you pledged to stand with us against the Celestial Spirit Court without knowing their true capabilities, I am confident that you are not connected to them. But it's best you don't reveal this information to others."
