chapter-350
The first mention of the Boar King in Sumatra Chronicles was at the Second Major Disaster's climax. When the Attribute revealed itself towards the end, it unleashed a pulse of Prana that radiated across Sumatra Continent in a frequency range that only Gold Grade Pranic Beasts and above could perceive.
The Boar King would feel it and rush to the scene. Of course, by then, Resha had already obtained the Attribute and returned to the Mammoth Clan. The Empyrean Tusk herd would hurriedly flee from the place fearing the Brimgan Empire's retaliation.
The Mammoth Clan loses around half their people during the Second Major Disaster, becoming severely weakened as a result. Hence, the Empyrean Tusk herd would flee the place long before the Boar King arrived there.
This was his first appearance in Sumatra Chronicles. The Boar King does nothing there other than to sense traces of the Attribute's existence and notice the Empyrean Tusk herd. He would only be at the 3-Life Stage.
Even though 44 Empyrean Tusks weren't enough to threaten his life, the appearance of the Attribute concerns him. As a result, the Boar King makes preparations for the final conflict against the Mammoth Clan.He rises up in the Life Stage, increasing his cultivation and the number of bodies at his disposal. And finally, during the Fourth Major Disaster, the Boar King faces off against a beaten and battered Mammoth Clan, ending up annihilating them.
The main point to note here is the fact that if not for the Major Treasure of Attribute revealing itself, the Boar King would have remained content at the 3-Life Stage. That level of strength wasn't enough to destroy the Mammoth Clan being protected by the 2-Life Stage Resha armed with multiple Major Treasures.
Whether it be the Major Treasure of Attribute, Weapon, or Pet, they would unleash a pulse of Prana that could be felt across a significant region of Sumatra. The range of this pulse only increases progressively.
And when the Major Treasure of Seat of Transcendence appears, the pulse could be felt all across Sumatra Continent by every single existence that was alive and had Prana. Anyone and everyone would fight for it then.
The same events would transpire in this timeline too, since the Major Disasters were geared around the Major Treasures. And the moment the Major Treasure of Attribute appears, the Boar King would feel threatened and actively start growing his strength.
He would consume his secret stash of Empyrean Tusk bodies to rapidly grow in strength. Yes, there was such a place.
The amount of resources in an Empyrean Tusk's body is simply ginormous. Even the Boar King could spend years eating through them and still fail to finish. Therefore, when the Boar King hunted an Empyrean Tusk, he obviously made use of Internal Inertial Gravity.In such cases, after he kills an Empyrean Tusk, he would swallow it whole and store it in his stomach biome. Following that, he would transport it to an Enclave meant exclusively to safekeep these corpses.
Gaja Enclave!
A drought-ridden land where barely anything grew. There was no food or water in this place while the temperature was freezing cold. The coldness meant the region could be used as a natural refrigerator.
There was a weak race that called this place their home, almost on the verge of extinction due to reckless infighting. There were barely a few of them when the Boar King decided to occupy this place.
In a matter of seconds, he caused the race to go extinct and made Gaja Enclave his personal refrigerator, vomiting out all the Empyrean Tusk contents from his stomach. The name, Gaja Enclave was given to the place by him.
Piles upon piles of resources, forming mountains appeared on the original flat lands of Gaja Enclave, rich with Empyrean Tusk Prana. The chillness maintained these Empyrean Tusk bodies in a pristine state.
Of course, due to the dense amount of Prana coursing through their bodies, though corpses, they would be maintained fresh until all the Prana was expended.
Over the centuries, as the number of resource mountains increased in the region, Parute Trees began to pop up in large numbers, influenced by the dense stream of Prana being emanated by the mountains.
From time to time, the Boar King would arrive to harvest and consume the Parute Fruits. When his belly became full, he would crush and dump the rest in a large lake where the Parute Fruits turned into a fluid on par with Elixir, refined by nature over time.
It was a secret paradise for his exclusive use, something he spent close to two millennia creating. In Sumatra Chronicles, the moment the Boar King intended to grow, he arrived at Gaja Enclave and consumed the stored resources.
As a result, he was able to optimally raise his cultivation at the fastest speed and quickly reach the peak. The Boar King camped at Gaja Enclave to cultivate. And the next time he faced the Mammoth Clan, he was untouchable.
Resha, armed with multiple Major Treasures, three powerful Natures, and a cultivation at the 2-Life Stage as an Empyrean Tusk, failed to scratch the Boar King.
Therefore, the only way to stop the Boar King from becoming overpowered beyond extreme was to prevent him from camping at Gaja Enclave.
Inala was aware that the Boar King intended to create his own Clan. That meant he would spend a lot of time and couldn't camp at Gaja Enclave like before. He would obviously find a wife to create the Clan.
And based on his character, there was a solid chance he would value her, which meant for the first time in history, the Boar King had a weakness. Inala didn't know who that woman was, but intended to find out in the future.
Finally, as long as the Boar King was too busy to head to the Gaja Enclave, he wouldn't be able to blitz through the Life Stage and build bodies like in Sumatra Chronicles. The existence of Loot would keep him running in circles throughout Sumatra Continent.
It was why Inala took the risk and lured in the Boar King twice, first in Sanrey Plains and second in the Dralh Sea. It was to make a pattern and trigger the Boar King into a cat-and-mouse chase, a game meant to waste his time.
Even the Boar King couldn't magically reach the 10-Life Stage in a short time. Therefore, the lower the amount of free time at his disposal, the weaker he would be in comparison to Sumatra Chronicles when the Fourth Major Disaster starts.
And until now, that plan was going decently well. Keeping his eyes open while in his male form, Inala pondered in silence, 'It has been more than six years since he died twice to the Mammoth Clan. But until now, he hasn't made any efforts to raise his strength. He's still at the peak of the Body Stage.'
'By the time the Major Treasure of Attribute appears and alerts him, there would be too much stuff on his plate that he doesn't have enough free time to go to the Gaja Enclave.' Inala concluded as he got up, groaning in response while approaching the shelf.
He took out a Low-Grade Elixir and consumed it, using Mystic Bone Art in full swing to heal his body. He was too weak to handle a Mid-Grade Elixir. Hence, he used a Low-Grade Elixir, that too one with a very weak potency, barely able to raise his Prana by twenty units.
As his Prana values increased and his body healed a bit, Inala treated himself to a feast, using most of the ingredients in the kitchen. Smelling the aroma, Wittral got up, finally having the mood to eat until he became fat.
"You're just in time." Inala transformed into a female for a second to speak before reverting to his male form. Wittral had yet to recover his sight, so it was fine. Besides, it didn't matter much if his male form got revealed.
The duo ate in silence, the atmosphere at the dining table was harmonious.
