Beast Taming: My spirit beast bloodline is overloaded

Chapter 239 Obtaining a Celestial-Grade Spirit Egg
Everyone knew that the two sides were about to begin their decisive battle, and the Hundred-Eyed Beast King's eyes had also had enough rest.

Then, the Demon Fang Beast King roared to the sky, its sound waves like rolling thunder, shaking the surrounding air. It launched the first attack.

Its aura surged, and it once again used [Netherworld Stealth], its body instantly disappearing into the darkness, leaving only a faint black shadow.

Immediately afterwards, it unleashed [Nether Fang Assault], its speed instantly exploding to its limit, transforming into a streak of shadowy light, bringing with it a gust of wind, and rushing swiftly towards Little White.

The enormous fang gleamed with a chilling light, as if it could pierce through everything.

Seeing this, Xiaobai didn't hesitate to throw the Devouring Beast onto the bull's back. Its eyes burned with fighting spirit. It roared and charged straight at its opponent, intending to fight head-on.

At the critical moment, one eye on the Hundred-Eyed Beast King's massive head opened, activating the [Eye of Gravity], and an invisible pressure pressed down on Xiaobai like a mountain.

However, with the blessing of the fifth-order savage bloodline, Xiaobai's muscles were taut and his hair stood on end, as if he was completely unaffected. His speed was not reduced at all, and his strength was still as powerful as ever. He charged towards the Nether Fang Beast King without hesitation.

Seeing this, Yu Xiu and the other two old men couldn't help but swallow hard.

It is not invalid.

Rather, it was because Xiaobai's savage bloodline power was too terrifying, ignoring the effects of gravity.

Seeing that his attack was ineffective, the Hundred-Eyed Beast King was terrified. At this moment, the Nether Fang Beast was already clashing head-on with Little White.

The clash between the two spirit beasts made the Nether Fang Beast immediately realize the vast difference in strength between them, a fact it found unacceptable.

It was already the king of beasts, and it was three levels ahead of it.

However, it was now being pushed away by Little White.

As its body became uncontrollable, Little White roared, gathering all its beastly power together.

[The Demon Bull Arrives]

Lin Chen and Xiao Bai knew that the battle had continued for so long, and Xiao Bai was exhausted.

Therefore, the battle should be resolved as soon as possible.

A roar like thunder resounded, and in an instant, a demonic bull with a body as large as a mountain slowly emerged in the void.

It exuded a terrifying aura, its horns gleaming with an eerie light, sharp as blades, as it looked down at the Nether Fang Beast and the Hundred-Eyed Beast King below.

The moment the two beast kings saw the demon bull, their pupils contracted sharply, their eyes filled with shock and awe, and their throats moved uncontrollably as they swallowed saliva exaggeratedly.

However, as the kings of beasts, they possessed extremely strong wills and quickly recovered from their shock.

The Demon Fang Beast King roared to the sky, its voice seemingly capable of tearing through space. Every hair on its body stood on end, and it was surrounded by a black aura of death as it unleashed its ultimate move, [Death Ripple].

As the skill was activated, its aura surged wildly like a tidal wave, and the power of the Beast King was displayed without reservation, turning the surrounding air into an eerie black.

At the same time, the Hundred-Eyed Beast King let out a sharp cry, and its seventh eye slowly opened, emitting an icy blue light and spreading a tangible, chilling power.

It stared directly at Xiaobai with its [Frozen Eye], trying to forcefully stop Xiaobai from controlling the demon bull, because it keenly sensed the terrifying power contained in the demon bull.

But just then, the Devourer stood up on the bull's back, jumped onto the bull's head, and opened its mouth.

Then a terrifying scene unfolded: Xiaobai, who had been facing obstacles, suddenly became completely unaffected.

"It can even swallow this?" Guo Hua exclaimed in surprise.

The same applies to Yu Xiu.

The power of the pupil can be considered a kind of spiritual power to some extent. This invisible and intangible power could actually be devoured by the Devouring Beast, a scene that shocked everyone.

Lin Chen's eyes widened in disbelief, and he thought to himself that the Devouring Beast's skill was simply too overpowered to be true.

The beast on the bull's head let out a satisfied burp, as if it had just enjoyed a delicious meal, and then sat down leisurely again, looking very relaxed.

At the same time, the Death Ripple of the Netherfang Beast King erupted completely. Centered on the Netherfang Beast, a ring-shaped shockwave containing a strong power of death and soul swept out like a surging wave, and the air seemed to freeze wherever it passed.

The shockwave struck the demonic bull, which had broken free of its four shackles, in an instant. The two forces intertwined and spread outwards, causing a burst of light.

At first, the two attacks were locked in a stalemate, like two equally matched masters locked in a fierce standoff.

But just three seconds later, the Demon Bull suddenly roared, pushed off with all four hooves, and lunged forward. The powerful impact instantly dispersed the shockwave formed by the death ripples. Then, the Demon Bull pounced on the Nether Fang Beast like an arrow released from a bow.

The Demon Fang Beast King, who was waiting for the outcome, widened its eyes upon seeing this scene and instantly realized that its life was in danger. It desperately tried to escape, but it could not outrun the speed of the Demon Bull.

Seeing that it was about to be caught, Lin Chen immediately shouted:

"Senior Guardian Beast, save it."

As soon as he finished speaking, a spatial fluctuation appeared, pulling the Netherfang Beast King inside and allowing it to narrowly escape the Demon Bull's attack.

Then, the Demon Fang Beast King fell down from somewhere with a thud.

It tried to get up, but Lin Chen said, "You're out of the game."

The Demon Fang Beast King seemed to wake from a dream. It exhaled, then looked at Lin Chen gratefully before quietly standing aside.

At this point, Xiaobai's beast power was exhausted, but it had to muster its strength and face the Hundred-Eyed Beast King together with the Devouring Beast.

"Moo~"

Xiao Bai shouted at the Devouring Beast, meaning to buy it some time.

The Hundred-Eyed Beast King's melee ability is definitely inferior to that of the Dark Fang Beast King. Its ability is more like that of a semi-support. As long as Xiaobai catches its breath, it will be able to deal with it.

Unexpectedly, the Hundred-Eyed Beast King roared and simultaneously deactivated all its pupils.

Everyone was taken aback, and the little beasts were also surprised.

The Hundred-Eyed Beast King still has an advantage, so why did it give up?

"Roar!"

The Hundred-Eyed Beast King didn't explain; it simply told Lin Chen that they had lost.

In fact, it knew that continuing to fight didn't necessarily mean it wouldn't win.

But it could sense that Lin Chen had genuinely wanted to save the Netherfang Beast King.
Since this celestial-grade spirit egg is ultimately beyond saving, it's better to entrust it to a kind and capable person.

Lin Chen is a good choice.

Seeing the Hundred-Eyed Beast King announce its defeat, Lin Chen, Bai Ling, and the other spirit beasts were overjoyed, but they dared not show it too much, for fear that the Hundred-Eyed Beast King might change its mind again.

"Roar!!"

The Hundred-Eyed Beast King shouted at Lin Chen, then led the way.

As they passed by the other beast kings, the Hundred-Eyed Beast King stepped forward and said a few words, to which the other beast kings nodded.

Subsequently, the Hundred-Eyed Beast King led Lin Chen to the back of the volcano, where Lin Chen finally saw the appearance of this celestial-grade spirit egg.

It's a bit small, probably about the size of a small fox, or even a bit bigger.

"What kind of egg is this?" Lin Chen asked the Hundred-Eyed Beast King.

The Hundred-Eyed Beast King shook its head, indicating that it did not know, as they had only sensed the eruption after it occurred.

As animals, they have both the need and the obligation to protect it.

Finally, the Hundred-Eyed Beast King asked Lin Chen to go up and get it. Lin Chen looked at the volcanic lava and naturally dared not go over, so he could only let the little fox go.

The little fox hopped over, held up an egg bigger than itself with both hands, and then ran back in small steps.

Lin Chen and Bai Ling watched from the side, repeatedly telling it to be careful and not to fall.
In fact, they knew that the egg couldn't be broken.

When Lin Chen received it and felt the warmth of the eggshell, he immediately beamed with joy and said to the Hundred-Eyed Beast King:

"Thanks."

"He actually got it." Zhang Jin and the other two had strange expressions on their faces.

If this beast horde had been in anyone else's hands, it would probably have been impossible to defeat, but Lin Chen actually managed to do it.

At this moment, Lin Chen, having obtained the Immortal-grade Spirit Egg, also told the beasts that he would not mistreat it in the future.

"I will also tell it that all of you uncles and aunts used to protect it," Lin Chen said with a smile.

The Hundred-Eyed Beast King nodded and then led his beasts away.

The moment they left, Lin Chen immediately shouted to the sky, "Elder, save me!"

There was no response, so Lin Chen called out again:
"Elder, save me."

However, no spatial fluctuations have yet occurred.

Just as Lin Chen was about to shout, a helpless voice rang out. It was the First Elder who walked over from the side. He said, "Stop shouting, we heard you."

"Why didn't you come out of the space?" Lin Chen asked in surprise.

The elder rolled his eyes and said, "You're not really in danger, so why would the guardian beast care about you?"

"Okay." Lin Chen scratched his head, then took out the egg and said, "I don't want to take any more risks. I've already got this."

"I saw it." The elder said with a smile, "You did a good job this time, put it away."

Lin Chen directly put the egg into his beast-taming space without saying anything more. Then, Lin Chen said to Bai Ling, "You come with me too."

Halfway through his sentence, Lin Chen looked at the Grand Elder.

Yu Xiu glanced at Bai Ling and said, "Little girl, you are originally a member of the Spirit Academy. Once you are a member of the Spirit Academy, you will be a member of the Spirit Academy for life. It's just that this time you are here representing the National Preceptor Academy."

"I understand, Elder." After saying that, Bai Ling also shouted to the sky, "Senior Brother, save me!"

A short while later, Zhang Jin also appeared.

The two old guys understood each other implicitly. Bai Ling had already obtained the white python beast's egg, and Lin Chen had also obtained a celestial-grade spirit egg, so the mission was considered complete.

"Then I'm leaving." Bai Ling said to Lin Chen with some reluctance. As for the three spirit beasts, she was even more reluctant to part with Xiao Bai and the others.

Lin Chen smiled and said, "The fact that the Devouring Beast has become so strong this time proves that your choice was right."

Upon hearing this, Bai Ling beamed with joy.

Finally, she left with Zhang Jin.

Lin Chen turned around and asked the Grand Elder, "Grand Elder, do you know what this egg is?"

The Grand Elder said, "Didn't the Hundred-Eyed Beast King just say that it is..."

"You were indeed spying."

"."

The Grand Elder was speechless and asked, "So your senior brothers and sisters entrusted you with the task of not taking care of the spirit egg?"

"Of course not, I'm just planning to go looking for them with you now," Lin Chen said. "I'm just not qualified to choose spirit eggs anymore."

"You little rascal." The elder shook his head with a wry smile.

Lin Chen was really smart; the moment he got the spirit egg, he immediately called for help, just in case something went wrong.

With this kind of personality, one is likely to go further in life.

With the Grand Elder by his side, Lin Chen was no longer afraid. After they successfully found one spirit egg, they were preparing to look for the next one when the little white ox bellowed.

Then Lin Chen saw a fire ant beast in front of him, which was coming towards Lin Chen and his companions.

Lin Chen was puzzled. Hadn't his deal with the Queen Ant ended?
The fire ant beast wasn't the one leading the way, but it really was looking for Lin Chen. It told Lin Chen that the queen ant was looking for him.

Lin Chen glanced at the Grand Elder and told him the whole story. The Grand Elder then said, "The Queen Ant seems to have come to her senses."

Lin Chen was overjoyed upon hearing this. In this way, if he gave this egg to Zhang Suqing, he would definitely be able to get all of her medicinal herbs.

Lin Chen led the Grand Elder back to the Queen Ant's position, and the Queen Ant, just as the Grand Elder had said, had truly come to her senses.

It hopes that the child it painstakingly gave birth to can leave this place and have a stronger future.

"I will find it a good home," Lin Chen said confidently.

The queen ant nodded, indicating that she believed in Lin Chen's character.

Besides the deal between Lin Chen and the ant queen, there was another very important thing: the ant queen overheard the entire process of Lin Chen's battle with the beast king horde on the volcano.

The queen ant felt that Lin Chen was a trustworthy person.

Lin Chen obtained the egg and said to the Grand Elder, "May I keep it and give it to Zhang Suqing separately?"

"Of course." The elder did not object, as these things were originally obtained by the students themselves.

After bidding farewell to the queen ant, the two continued their search for the spirit egg. At this moment, the elder said, "Lin Chen, don't you think it's a bit cruel for humans to confine them?"

Lin Chen said, "We and the demon race are two different races. If one side is too strong and the other is too weak, there will only be more casualties."

"Besides that, do you think we have the strength to besiege this place?" The elder asked a startling question.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen asked in surprise, "Wasn't it you who surrounded them?"

"In the past, the human race did indeed have this plan. The national advisors of the six kingdoms gathered, preparing to use their supernatural powers to besiege this place, but they found that it was simply impossible."

"Later, it was Grand Preceptor Gu who discovered the secret buried beneath this Heavenly Beast Island: there is a Six Harmonies Formation that firmly surrounds this place."

"In the end, the human race simply modified this formation and used it for our own purposes."

The great elder said.

"So, this used to be an island where beasts were trapped?" Lin Chen asked in surprise.

If what the Grand Elder said is true, then this formation may very well have existed since the primordial era.

"It might be a place where some immortal sect keeps pets," Lin Chen muttered to himself, then asked again, "Is there any written record of this?"

The elder smiled bitterly and said, "There are no records of this island since the end of the Primordial Era. It was previously known as the New World, but it was later discovered to be an island. Only when the great formation was discovered underground did we finally understand that this place had been developed before."

"Then why isn't this news being released?" Lin Chen asked in surprise, as it wasn't exactly top secret.

"The reason is simple. The human race and the demon race had just finished a great battle. The demon race still harbors ambitions and wants to fight the human race again. The benefit of announcing that this island is sealed off by us is that it can make them think that this is a capability possessed by our human race," the elder explained.

Lin Chen understood, and asked again, "Elder, how did you know?"

As he pondered, he seemed to understand and said, "Was the dean of our Spirit Academy involved before?"

The elder nodded, took two steps, and then suddenly said, "Actually, I don't really want you to obtain this celestial-grade spirit egg."

Lin Chen was taken aback, wondering if he had offended the Grand Elder. Then, a thought struck him, and he said, "I understand. The Grand Elder is afraid that I will get into trouble because I have a fairy egg. Don't worry, I will stay in the Spirit Academy until I can form a contract with it before I go out."

"You don't know anything." The Grand Elder rolled his eyes and said, "Think about it, the National Academy sent nine people this time, all of them were people of great potential, but you took them all away. What does that mean?"

Lin Chen suddenly realized, but then argued, "Elder, what you're saying is hurtful. Can't you allow me to be a person of destiny as well?"

The elder glanced at him and suddenly said, "It's a loan, isn't it?"

Lin Chen naturally knew he was referring to Bai Ling. If it weren't for Bai Ling's Devouring Beast guiding the way, the Spirit Egg might have really been taken by Gu Ning.

However, he shamelessly said:
"It seems the Grand Elder still doesn't quite understand me."
