A Conflict by the Golden Lake

Five minutes later.
Tempest returned with an intel.
Several ferocious beasts like T-Rex and two Heavenly Kings fought over a soon-to-be blooming treasure at the body of water ahead. Apparently, it was a golden blue-colored lotus.
Camilla's eyes lit up and purred excitedly, telling Yu Long that the golden blue-colored lotus was the treasure she meant.
"Do you know what kind of treasure this lotus is?" Yu Long asked Tempest because he never heard of such treasure, even in the Miracle of Life, Li Suo's legacy.
Tempest shook her head bitterly, "No, God Master."
"Unfortunately, I don't know anything about this lotus."
"I'm a bit of a birdbrain in this field..."
'Well, you're a bird.' Yu Long thought while thinking about something unimportant.
So far, Yu Long has gotten a feeling that the Demonic Star Secret Realm is unlike anything else he had seen in the Primal Chaos Dimension, though he hasn't much outside the Blue Pole Star.
The secret realm has too many unknown things, exceeding Yu Long's sea of knowledge. Watching this realm, he felt like it was a fusion between the Primal Chaos Dimension and his previous life world.
There is no mistake.
Yu Long could tell the ambiance was there.
"Mutated creatures like C-Rex, medicinal liquid similar to Geno Potion, and everything." He mumbled solemnly.
"God Master?" Tempest called Yu Long, waking him up from the stupor.
Yu Long blinked and glanced at her, "What's the matter?"
Tempest tilted her head in confusion, "Uh, I'm asking what we should do next."
"Well, let's march forward. I want to get my hand on the golden-blue lotus."
Hearing Yu Long's answer, Tempest nodded in agreement. They couldn't miss their chances on such a sought-after treasure.
If Tempest were alone, she wouldn't dare to join in such a deadly and fierce competition.
Hehe, but she had the God Master on her side. His power should be more than enough to wipe those wimpy fellows.
C-Rex growled and rushed forward with extreme speed, leaving behind Tempest.
"Wait for me!" Tempest flapped her wings.
At the massive body of water, the golden-blue lotus absorbed sunlight and made the water glow in a shimmering yellow flush. It looks like a golden lake from afar, basking in mysterious glory.
"You said Heavenly Kings earlier. Who are they?" Yu Long questioned while sitting above Camilla's head, undisturbed by her 'extremely' fast movement.
Tempest nodded and described, "They were lower-ranked Heavenly Kings who just became part of the group five years ago."
"Although they are not strong, their abilities are annoying."
"One is ranked ten, Heavenly King of Horror. A disgusting motherfucker who could manipulate her enemy's flesh and bones if the condition is right."
"And the other is ranked nine, Heavenly King of Crow. No less disgusting bastard who could manipulate his enemy's mind and soul with ocular ability."
"I got caught by Crow's illusion once, and he molested me, even asking me to bear his children because we are both bird-type Profound Beasts..."
"I will kill that shameless black bird later!"
"Language..." Yu Long couldn't help but sigh.
Tempest, we have a child with us right now.
Fortunately, Camilla doesn't seem to care. She was 'solely' focused on getting the treasure more than anything.
Even then, Yu Long was interested in the Heavenly King of Horror and Heavenly King of Crow. They are strong, but their powers have yet to mature.
Especially the Heavenly King of Horror.
Yu Long believed she was a rare-type spider called Queen Blade Spider.
The power to manipulate flesh and bones is death-like, but Yu Long knew where it originated. It comes from quite a troublesome mutated creature.
They arrived at the golden lake a minute later and realized it was bigger than expected. Surprisingly, this wasn't the Dead Star Lake.
Tempest furrowed her brows, "Godmaster, they are fighting!"
Yu Long gazed ahead and saw some beasts fighting against a ten-meter-tall black crow. The fight is weird because none of these beasts land a hit on the crow, attacking their fellow companions instead.
Meanwhile, not far away. Yu Long also spotted mangled flesh and bones shaped like a golem.
The flesh is squirming, and the bones are cracking.
"Disgusting..." Tempest squinted her eyes.
Even Camilla didn't like what she saw as she growled coldly, swiping her sword-like to the rocky ground to sharpen it.
Yu Long shook his head gently, "The golem is not our problem."
"That is our problem." He pointed at the giant white spider with blade-like legs. The spider hid within a pile of bones, camouflaging.
But how could the spider hide from Yu Long's eyes?
Tempest looked down, "Godmaster, let me kill her."
"No." Yu Long flatly replied. "Not now."
"Don't forget about our goal."
"Get the lotus first."
Rawr!
As the fierce beasts are busy fighting with the Heavenly King of Crow and Heavenly King of Horror, Camilla bursts through all the woods and sends several trees flying.
Tempest descended, dive-bombing the area with a violent tornado. It hides her presence.
On the flat side of Camilla's tail, Yu Long stood and waited for the C-Rex to reach enough momentum.
"Now!" Yu Long said, and Camilla flicked her tail like a whip.
Woooosh!
Yu Long is flying like a cannonball, breaking the sound barrier.
He definitely caught the attention of the still-fighting beasts, but their realization was 'instantly' cut short when the golden blue lotus disappeared from their sight.
Some beasts have enhanced vision similar to the Heavenly King of Crow, but they still couldn't believe their eyes.
How did the treasure they fought over suddenly disappear like that?
Yu Long landed on the other side of the golden lake and stared at the green light in his left palm. The Sky Poison Pearl's harvesting speed on medicinal herbs increased significantly after fusing into one.
He prayed into the Sky Poison Pearl and analyzed the golden blue lotus's composition. After a few moments, he sighed because the herb was useless to him.
Why useless?
Well, it could only help Profound Beast to promote their bodies to a higher rank. The effect would be better if Yu Long refined it into a pill, but that's it.
That explains why the mutated beasts and Heavenly Kings fight over this lotus.
ROAR!
The flesh-bone golem suddenly rushed toward Yu Long.
The Heavenly King of Horror must have realized Yu Long's trick.
Watching the behemoth coming for him, Yu Long smiled and snapped his finger casually. Thunderfire wings appeared behind his back and swirled, creating a field force.
BOOM!
The field force and flesh-bone golem clashed, and the latter lost because Yu Long made the field force with the power of lightning and fire that damaged the golem's body.
Of course, this wasn't enough to kill the golem.
Yu Long gazed at the pile of bones far away, seeing it quiver slightly.
"Let's see how tough you're." He said while controlling the thundefire wings. The wings become thinner and sharper, glowing with faint sharpness.
"Flash Step." Yu Long walked forward and moved, leaving his afterimages everywhere. When he landed on the ground, several bright purple lines appeared on the golem's body and caused it to explode with a pillar of light.
BOOM!
"Not a shabby move, I should name it..."
"What about… Thunder Phoenix Dance?"
"DAMNED HUMAN!" Someone shouted at Yu Long.
"Hmm?" Yu Long turned around and saw the Heavenly King of Crow glaring at him.
Heavenly King of Crow has taken control of his enemies' minds, turning them into loyal puppets. He was angry and pushed his ability to the limit.
"Kill him!"
ROAR! ROAR!
The mutated beasts charged at Yu Long.
Yu Long whistled, seeing a black shadow approach the mutated beasts with a fiery appearance.
RAAAAAWWWRRR!
Camilla appeared and slashed through the mutated beasts, rampaging with all her might.
After killing them all, she waved her sword-like tail and roared proudly at Yu Long as if saying she was a good girl.
"Haha~!" Yu Long laughed joyfully.
How adorable.
BOOOM!
The Heavenly King of Horror finally exposed herself off the bone piles and stood beside the Heavenly King of Crow.
They faced Yu Long and Camilla with solemn expressions.
"Sword-Tailed Dragon, and human... It is unusual." Said the Heavenly King of Horror. "Crow, can you handle the human?"
"Hmph, he's just a mere lucky human." The Heavenly King of Crow narrowed his eyes at Camilla.
"What about you? Can you handle the Sword-Tailed Dragon?"
"I can. It will be two against two."
"And we will win..."
"WRONG, YOU FOOL!" Tempest abruptly appeared above Camilla.
"IT WOULD BE THREE AGAINST TWO!"
