Starting from primitive world, building the strongest divine kingdom - Chapter 285

Chapter 285: Chapter285:Bustling Otrank Mountains
In the city of Ambera, at the Lord’s Manor.

The cold-faced man nodded in response to Cornelius’s promise.

He then activated a spatial portal and left the manor.

At that moment, beams of light were streaking across the skies in various parts of the Fierce Beast world. These were the supernatural beings flying at high speed, many of whom emanated a divine aura, all heading toward the Otrank Mountains.

…

Otrank Mountains.

From above, the Otrank Mountains resembled a giant leaf, with a massive main ridge stretching for hundreds of thousands of kilometers, traversing the entire range. Other peaks clung to this main ridge, radiating outward.

Enzo and Karina were walking through the Otrank Mountains.

However, their journey was smooth, with no dangers in sight. No Fierce Beasts or other supernatural beings appeared.

“Is this really the dangerous Otrank Mountains everyone talks about?”

Enzo asked, puzzled.

Having resolved the elemental confinement issue and mastered powerful soul-based divine arts like Soul Fortress, Enzo’s spiritual perception had greatly improved. To him, the Otrank Mountains seemed unremarkable, even less perilous than the blood ruins he had previously visited.

But soon, Enzo realized where the danger in the Otrank Mountains lay.

As they advanced deeper, the space in front of them suddenly rippled, and a terrifying Fierce Beast, several meters long and covered in tentacles, appeared before Enzo. Despite his quick reflexes, the beast struck him, leaving a dark mark on his arm.

However, the cost was that Enzo responded with a powerful punch, killing the Fierce Beast instantly.

“This thing is poisonous.” Enzo looked at the dark spots spreading on his arm and pushed the toxins out of his body.

Karina bent down and retrieved a piece of Elder Deity crystal from the head of the Fierce Beast. She then said, “This is the danger of the Otrank Mountains. The Fierce Beasts in the Otrank Mountains are never just roaming in the mountains. They can appear at any moment and leave just as quickly.”

Enzo nodded, directing some of his focus to sensing the surrounding space.

After walking a short distance, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Karina, saying, “Something’s up!”

Karina’s expression changed, and she froze instantly.

At that moment, a Fierce Beast appeared a few dozen meters in front of them, emanating a powerful aura. But in the next instant, a giant axe, nearly the height of an adult, fell and severed the Beast’s head.

Enzo’s expression turned strange.

He recognized the axe. It belonged to the massive figure who had ambushed him in the blood ruins.

His guess was correct. After the axe fell, two people emerged: Kitsch and Quinn, the very ones who had previously attacked Enzo.

“Quinn, you’ve gotten stronger again.”

Seeing Quinn effortlessly slay the powerful Fierce Beast with a single strike, the slender Kitsch praised him with a smile.

Quinn, however, seemed disinterested.

He picked up the massive axe and wiped the blood from it, muttering, “Next time I see him, I’ll make him kneel and apologize.”

Kitsch fell silent.

He realized that the person Quinn referred to was none other than Enzo.

After informing Captain Patricia about the situation, she went to find Enzo. Although she and Enzo didn’t know the details of their previous encounter, when Patricia returned, her attitude had drastically changed. She demanded that Kitsch and Quinn refrain from any more ambushes and ordered them to apologize to Enzo next time they met.

As members of the Temple of the Seven Gods, both Kitsch and Quinn were proud, and while they could lower their heads in front of Patricia, apologizing to Enzo …

That was out of the question!

This left them seething with anger.

At that moment, noticing that Kitsch and Quinn were familiar faces, Enzo approached them openly, not bothering to conceal his movements.

Kitsch and Quinn immediately heard the noise.

“It’s you!” Upon seeing Enzo, both Kitsch and Quinn were momentarily surprised, quickly followed by excitement.

Especially Quinn, who stepped forward with the giant axe.

He shouted, “Kid, this time you won’t escape!”

“Escape?” Enzo scoffed, then mocked, “Last time, you two chose to ambush me, and in the end, it was you who fled.”

Quinn’s expression darkened.

He argued cunningly, saying, “Last time was last time, this time—”

Crack!

Enzo didn’t give Quinn a chance to continue.

He directly activated Soul Fortress, and the immense soul power pressed down on Quinn like a mountain, launching a soul-targeted attack that Quinn couldn’t evade.

He found it hard to bear, feeling as if his head would explode.

He suddenly collapsed to his knees, using so much force that his kneecap shattered.

This scene left Kitsch stunned.

Enzo had become even stronger.

In their last battle, Enzo needed to engage in close combat to push both him and Quinn back, but this time, he merely used his mental power to pin Quinn to the ground.

It was terrifying!

Quinn’s soul was not weak. In fact, it was much more powerful than Enzo’s.

Yet Quinn was instantly subdued—what about Kitsch?

This time, Kitsch had no desire to resist or retaliate. He simply knelt down and admitted his mistake: “Respected warrior, I was wrong.”

This scene infuriated Quinn.

He gritted his teeth, struggling against the immense pressure from Enzo’s soul power, and then shouted at Kitsch, “Kitsch, you coward!”

Kitsch did not respond.

Quinn’s eyes were wide with anger, clearly feeling unjust.

Seeing this, Enzo maintained a stoic expression but secretly intensified the pressure, the fortress of soul energy pressing down relentlessly, causing Quinn’s thoughts to slow.

If this continued, he would die!

Faced with death, Quinn finally chose to survive.

He struggled to speak, saying, “I’m sorry.”

Enzo retracted the Soul Fortress and sneered, “Is that all you have to say?”

For both of them, it was impossible not to feel anger. If it had been anyone else with insufficient power, they would have been killed by these two long ago.

However, out of consideration for Patricia, Enzo decided to show some leniency.

But that didn’t mean he would easily forgive their offenses. When Kitsch and Quinn heard Enzo’s words, they wisely handed over all their possessions to him.

This was a vast fortune.

Especially since both Kitsch and Quinn were members of the Temple of the Seven Gods in Starry Sky, they possessed rare treasures not found on the Fierce Beast continent, which put Enzo in a good mood.

He waved his hand and said, “Get lost. If we meet again, you won’t be so lucky.”

Kitsch and Quinn left in silence, dejected.

Their defeat at Enzo’s hands was clearly a heavy blow.

Especially since this time, they had been utterly powerless, like insects that he could easily crush.

Just then, as Kitsch and Quinn had barely taken a few steps, a red light appeared before them, forming strange characters in mid-air.

Their faces changed dramatically, and they shouted in panic, “Captain Patricia is in danger!”

Enzo, not far away, heard them and quickly approached, asking, “What’s going on?”

In that moment, they couldn’t care less about Enzo’s earlier actions. After all, they were technically enemies. They hurriedly explained, “This is an emergency signal from the team, indicating that Captain Patricia is in danger and seeking help!”

“Where?” Enzo pressed.

Kitsch and Quinn exchanged glances before looking at Enzo and saying, “Follow us!”

With that, Kitsch led the way.

The four of them swiftly navigated through the Otrank Mountains.

…

On the other side.

In the heart of the Otrank Mountains, it’s far from the desolate outskirts. Every so often, one can spot supernatural beings searching for treasures.

Many of these supernatural beings are outsiders.

At this moment, Patricia was in a deep pit in the core area. Blood dripped from the corner of her mouth, but her gaze was resolute. Beside her lay the massive corpse of a Fierce Beast, its scaly body emitting a ghostly blue glow, resembling a pile of sparkling jewels.

Next to the pit, a group of people stood nearby.

The group of people was led by a tall orc, covered in thick brownish-yellow fur, with a long tail behind him. The orc looked at Patricia with a cruel expression and said, “Patricia, do you still have the strength to resist? As far as I know, you came to the Fierce Beast world leading this mission all by yourself from the Rage Temple. If you want to call for help, you can only rely on your two teammates. And they—Aha! Do you think they can stand up to me?”

Patricia’s expression darkens.

She retorts, “Clareno, I am a member of the Temple of the Seven Gods!”

This statement infuriated the tall orc Clareno. He swung his fist and roared, “Temple of the Seven Gods—damn the Temple of the Seven Gods! Patricia, do you really think that just because you’re a member of the Temple, I won’t dare to act against you? Let me be honest. It won’t be long before the Temple of the Seven Gods becomes a part of history in the entire Underground-River starfield.The great orc tribe’s supreme god will resurrect and return, and all members of the Temple of the Seven Gods will be slaughtered to death! And now you will be lucky enough to die at my hands!”
