Beast Taming Patrol Chapter 1536 - 429: The Legendary Stage! Dawn of Myth! (Double-Length, Finale Countdown: 22)

A migration is underway involving dozens of beasts belonging to the same species.

Their moods are heavy with sorrow. It is evident that this displacement is not a choice they made, but a desperate move forced upon them through coercion.

Trailing behind them are several formidable beasts, herding them like common livestock.

These creatures possess four hooves and lack any water attributes; by all rights, they have no place within the Endless Sea.

Nevertheless, they currently behave as if they own the domain, barking commands at the local beasts who have resided here for countless generations.

They are invaders from the Southern Wild Domain.

Emboldened by the intimidating presence of the Time Master, the creatures of the Southern Wild Domain have become increasingly insolent and tyrannical.

Under the pretext of war preparations, they have unleashed their cruelty upon the inhabitants of the Endless Sea.

Plunder and massacre have become the norm.

This particular migration was triggered simply because one of the Southern Wild Domain beasts took a fancy to their ancestral territory.

Within the group, a tiny sea beast huddles in the protective embrace of its parents. It casts a wary glance at the Southern Wild Domain enforcers behind them before whispering softly.

"Awoo~" (Will the Pure Water Elemental come to save us?)

Its eyes shine with a flicker of hope and innocent longing.

But before any comfort can be offered by its parents, the ears of a Southern Wild Domain beast twitch. Wearing a sadistic grin, it stalks toward the bewildered youngling.

"Roar!" (The king’s decree forbids any mention of the Pure Water Elemental! The penalty is death!)

As the parents watch in horror, the beast raises a claw, slicing through the air with a violent gust toward the small ocean creature.

Watching the lethal talons descend, the young beast shuts its eyes in terror. In its heart, it silently cries out to the Pure Water Elemental to guide it through its final moments.

"Boom!"

The thunderous roar of a massive wave crashes into the young beast's ears.

The anticipated agony never comes. Confused, it opens its eyes to see a magnificent radiance shimmering across its vision.

A translucent, ethereal figure has manifested in the empty air.

With a countenance defined by majesty and fury, the figure slowly lifts its hand. Instantly, colossal waves surge forward, swallowing every Southern Wild Domain beast in the vicinity.

Faced with such absolute power, the Southern Wild Domain beasts are helpless. They are swept into the heavens by a gargantuan water tornado before being slammed back into the depths.

The sheer force of the impact causes the void to vibrate, pulverizing the Southern Wild Domain beasts into nothingness.

This is the ocean's fury!

This is the vengeance of the Pure Water Elemental!

This is the ultimate water-based technique: the Water Rolling Skyfall!

Turning back to the huddling pack, the figure’s stern expression softens into one of kindness.

With a gentle wave, it radiates a wave of healing and solace upon the creatures of the Endless Sea.

Once the waters grow still, the figure places a finger to its lips, signaling "hush," and vanishes with a faint smile.

The eyes of the rescued beasts sparkle with newfound light. They exchange quick looks and hurry toward a secluded, hidden corner of the ocean.

They will ensure the Southern Wild Domain beasts never find them again, and they will never breathe a word about the Pure Water Elemental.

...

In a different sector of the ocean.

The ancient peace of these waters has been shattered. One after another, sea beasts are being shackled following bloody crackdowns by the Southern Wild Domain forces, bound by chains that cannot be broken.

These particular ocean beasts are massive in scale, a trait that once allowed them to dominate their territory and food chain.

However, that very size has now led to their enslavement.

The Southern Wild Domain is gearing up for a conflict with the West Profound Domain.

To cross the Endless Sea, the Southern Wild Domain requires a bridge.

These giant creatures are being captured to serve as the literal foundation of that bridge, constructed from their own flesh and bone.

It is a brutal and heartless fate.

Though they fight to escape their destiny, they are met only with even more violent suppression.

Only the juveniles are left unchained for now; their small stature means they will only follow their parents' grim path once they have matured.

Watching their families being dragged away without mercy, the young ones huddle together in terror, seeking what little warmth they can find from each other.

They press close, their very whimpers muffled by fear.

"Sigh~" (Do you believe the Pure Water Elemental will come for us?)

One youngster asks timidly, but a more cautious companion quickly silences it with a flick of a tail.

Tension grips them all as they watch the Southern Wild Domain guards patrolling outside. They only dare to relax once they are certain they haven't been overheard.

Just recently, one of their peers was slaughtered by the Southern Wild Domain beasts merely for speaking the name of the Pure Water Elemental.

They are paralyzed by fear.

Yet, within that darkness, a quiet yearning begins to take root in their souls.

Will the Pure Water Elemental truly come to save them?

This single thought resonates through the hearts of every young creature gathered there.

Once, twice, and then a thousand times...

Suddenly, one of them gasps, eyes wide, staring at a figure that has materialized out of the seawater.

Forgetting its terror, it uses its tail to nudge its companions, urging them to witness the sight.

With surging joy, they watch as the Southern Wild Domain beasts they so loathed and feared are shattered by the mysterious figure.

Unable to contain their relief, they burst from their hiding spots, circling the figure with jubilant cries.

The translucent figure, wearing an apologetic smile, gently strokes each young creature, healing their emotional wounds. It makes the "hush" sign once more before slowly fading into the blue.
