Beast Taming Patrol Chapter 1438 - 405: Opening of the Nine Nether Secret Realm!
Previously on Beast Taming Patrol...
"Boom!"
A thunderous explosion reverberated across the Rebirth Heaven. The impact between Yingying and Youyou was so violent that even the winding Underworld River surged with fresh waves.
A fierce Energy Storm erupted, sending ripples through the very fabric of the void.
Thick clouds of dust obscured the center of the battlefield, blurring everything from sight.
Lin Su slowly lowered the hand he had used to block the gusting winds, his eyes locked onto the heart of the collision.
As the dust finally settled, the forms of Yingying and Youyou emerged once more.
On the surface, they appeared to have taken little damage; however, through their spiritual bond, Lin Su could sense that Youyou had gained the advantage in their most powerful exchange.
The Power of Shattering was truly terrifying. Even in its incomplete state, its sheer level was enough to overwhelm and crush almost any opposing force.
Despite Yingying focusing its full strength to resist the unique effects of the Shattering Rules, it had still suffered a minor setback during the moment of impact.
"Oh! (❁´◡`❁)" (Go ahead!)
Youyou walked up to Yingying and gave the blood-red crystal on its forehead a comforting pat, wearing a bright smile.
It felt a sense of exhilaration, having unleashed its full power for the first time since beginning its training with the Phoenix Transformation Scripture.
Though it had not yet fully visualized all fifteen phoenixes, the nine it had already manifested provided a massive boost to its combat strength.
Their presence seemed to imbue its rules with a soul; utilizing them felt more natural, allowing for effortless fusion and the creation of entirely new rule powers.
This was a sensation Youyou had never felt before.
"Yo! ╚(˃o˂)╝" (Great!)
Yingying leaned into Youyou’s touch, though a competitive spark still flickered in its eyes.
While it had been bested in this particular duel, it now recognized where its current weaknesses lay.
The Judgment Red Shadow was a brand-new existence, and Yingying’s control over its power was still unrefined and raw.
It was determined to battle Youyou again during the team competition once it achieved another breakthrough and reached a higher level of strength!
Observing the warm interaction between the two after their fight, a smile spread across Lin Su’s face.
Without him even realizing it, his pet beasts had evolved to an incredible degree.
Both Youyou and Yingying had already far outstripped the capabilities of standard monarch-rank pet beasts, possessing the confidence to even challenge those at the emperor-rank.
He felt a surge of anticipation, wondering just how powerful they would become once he reached the eighth rank and they ascended to the emperor-rank.
Meanwhile, inside the Palace Master Pavilion, Zou Mingruo and the other immortals were engaged in deep discussion after witnessing the clash.
"That dragon-type pet beast is quite fascinating," one immortal remarked. "Its abilities resonate almost perfectly with our Nether Soul Palace. It’s a pity it cannot stay with us forever."
"The level of its rules is remarkably high," another immortal added. "The fusion of three rules is merely the surface; its actual rules are far more potent, and furthermore..."
"I'm not sure why, but its rules give me a strange sense of familiarity."
"You noticed it too?" another immortal said with a chuckle. "I sense the power of Illusion and Reality Rules within it. To my perception, its rules bear a resemblance to that immortal Heavenly Illusion Dragon from several centuries ago."
"With a further enhancement of its rule realm, it might be able to manifest purgatory in the world with just a single thought!"
"Creation..." the Soul Venerate said softly. "That Heavenly Illusion Dragon reportedly fled to the Eastern Extreme Domain years ago. There might be a link between them; perhaps Lin Su’s pet beast gained insight from the other's rules, leading to this similarity in power."
"That Heavenly Illusion Dragon possessed immense talent, but its ambition was simply too vast," an immortal recalled with a sneer. "It actually sought to rule the entire North God Domain. While our Three Beast Taming Sects were lenient due to the difficulty of its cultivation, the martial arts lineage showed no such mercy."
"It would have certainly met its end if it hadn't escaped to the Eastern Extreme Domain."
"Didn't it have a brother? I recall its brother assisting when the martial arts lineage laid siege to the Heavenly Illusion Dragon," another immortal mentioned offhandedly. "I haven't heard a word about it since then."
"It was likely slaughtered by the martial arts practitioners," the other replied with indifference.
"Why have we wandered so far off-topic?" Zou Mingruo asked, shaking his head with a sigh as he steered the conversation back to the duel. "What are your thoughts on this new pet beast?"
"Its power is formidable," the Soul Venerate stated calmly. "And its strength doesn't just come from being well-rounded."
"If my suspicions are correct, it has likely already integrated all its systems to birth a new rule, and the level of that rule is exceptionally high."
"Should its strength grow just a bit more, that rule could potentially become a threat even to me."
The immortals were stunned upon hearing the Soul Venerate’s assessment.
The Soul Venerate was an eighth-realm immortal and was considered the oldest immortal-rank pet beast in all of Shenwu.
While the multi-talented pet beast was undoubtedly strong, weren't the Soul Venerate's words a bit of an exaggeration?
"Oh? Look at that, everyone."
One of the immortals, still watching the lingering scene, suddenly spoke up.
In the projection, the small pink beast that usually stayed in Lin Su’s arms had moved between Yingying and Youyou. As it began to sing a peculiar melody, a strange energy manifested around them, healing their recent wounds and restoring their spent energy simultaneously.
"This little creature seems quite extraordinary as well," the immortal noted, unable to hide his surprise. "I initially thought its power was merely a specialized ability to block my perception; I did not expect it to truly lack any attribute presence at all."
