Beast Taming: Slaughter Atlas

Lei Yao descended slowly from mid-air, and the frenzy aura gradually receded. His tightly shut eyes suddenly opened, and the golden pupils were filled with madness.

Chu Chen's expression changed drastically upon seeing this. He felt a chaos in his mind, as if a voice was echoing inside his head.

"You cannot save it; it will ultimately become my Blood Slave."

At this moment, Lei Yao let out an angry roar, and the madness in his eyes quietly dissipated. The golden pupils were replaced by brown, and his gaze transformed from madness to tranquility.

At this moment, Chu Chen seemed to see the light, and his mind instantly regained tranquility. The feeling of recovering something lost made his eyes slightly wet.

At the same time, Liu Hong and Duan Yanyang, the master and disciple, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

If Lei Yao went berserk again, they really didn't know how to explain it to the curator. After all, Lei Yao's situation was too special. He had actually completed a self-evolution under the influence of the Blood Ancestor Essence Blood.

Liu Hong patted Chu Chen on the shoulder and smiled, "Congratulations on owning a Guardian Beast of Immortal Quality. The future is promising."

Chu Chen nodded with some lingering fear, "It's all down to luck."

"You don't need to be humble, luck is also a part of strength. Alright, go take a good rest. When Yunxiao and the others return, I'll send you off."

Chu Chen bid farewell to Liu Hong and his disciple and then returned to his residence with Lei Yao.

After Chu Chen returned to his room, Duan Yanyang said with a look of lingering fear, "Teacher, Lei Yao had a moment of losing control just now. I wonder how it recovered."

Liu Hong frowned upon hearing this, "I don't know either, but it's good that it recovered. Let's leave this headache-inducing issue to the curator."

Duan Yanyang nodded empathetically. During this period, Chu Chen had brought too much shock to him. If he continued to interact with him, his mindset would definitely undergo some change.

After closing the door, Chu Chen immediately came to Lei Yao's side to check him carefully.

Lei Yao did not refuse and instead enjoyed the feeling of being cared for by his master.

After checking for a while and not finding anything unusual about Lei Yao, Chu Chen finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

However, the scene of Lei Yao losing control just now stayed in his mind. He immediately asked how Lei Yao recovered.

Upon hearing Chu Chen's question, Lei Yao didn't offer a reasonable explanation. It just felt a chill in its mind, bringing it back to clarity, and it completely absorbed the Blood Ancestor Essence Blood within its body.

Hearing Lei Yao's explanation, Chu Chen fell into contemplation. This chill was likely the effect of the talents \\"Calm and Unflustered\\" and \\"Mind as Still Water\\".

This meant that Lei Yao might not need to worry about losing control in the future, which was excellent news for both the person and the beast.

However, the issue of whether Lei Yao could continue to evolve still needed resolution. The Blood Ancestor Essence Blood allowed Lei Yao to evolve autonomously, but there was no evolutionary path found in the Slaughter Atlas.

This meant that Lei Yao might not be able to further improve in quality, which was absolutely unacceptable to Chu Chen. With the Slaughter Atlas, the Emperor Level was not his end.

After much contemplation, Chu Chen thought of a way for Lei Yao to continue evolving: to keep consuming Blood Ancestor Essence Blood.

Although this method might cause Lei Yao to lose control again, Chu Chen could continue to bestow calming talents to help it recover.

However, while the idea was good, obtaining the Blood Ancestor Essence Blood was a problem.

The Blood Ancestor Essence Blood was exclusive to the Blood God Sect, a sect with profound foundations; otherwise, it couldn't have survived until now.

Entering a deadlock, Chu Chen could only sigh helplessly. Lei Yao's quality had already reached the Immortal Level; for some time ahead, he wouldn't need to worry about its quality.

As for obtaining the Blood Ancestor Essence Blood, that would have to wait until he grew stronger to reconsider.

After sorting out his chaotic thoughts, Chu Chen asked Lei Yao about the talents increased from its evolution.

Through Lei Yao's explanation, Chu Chen learned that after completing its evolution, it had acquired the ability to manipulate blood, although this ability had two drawbacks.

Firstly, manipulating blood had a range limit, with the maximum range being a hundred yards. The closer to Lei Yao, the stronger the effect; conversely, the farther away, the weaker the effect.

Secondly, when facing opponents of the same realm, they could divert their attention to suppress their blood.

Apart from these two drawbacks, what Chu Chen saw was the perverseness of this ability.

Faced with Star Beasts of a lower realm than Lei Yao, this ability was a Divine Skill. It could charge into a herd of beasts, using blood manipulation to inflict massive area damage. Since this talent consumed very little Star Power, it was essentially a battlefield killing weapon.

Lei Yao's and Nirvana's evolution both added new talents. Chu Chen tried to grant them new talents, but failed.

Clearly, after breaking through a major realm, only one talent could be added. However, Nirvana's situation was quite unique. After transforming into an Undead, it gained an additional talent at the Lord Level, occupying its talent vacancy at the Monarch Level.

This might be related to the transformation into an Undead, but Chu Chen could conclude that even with the Slaughter Atlas, each Guardian Beast could have at most nine talents.

Thinking of this, Chu Chen couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly. Perhaps he was too greedy. Whether Star Beasts or Guardian Beasts, having two talents was already a rarity, and having five talents like Lei Yao was unprecedented.

Chu Chen sat on the bed in a meditative position and began to organize the gains from this time.

First was the Slaughter Value. After this period of fighting, the Slaughter Value had reached an astonishing 2,130,000, which was the most he had acquired so far.

Next was wealth, mainly consisting of three items.

The first item was the number of Star Cores, roughly over four thousand, mostly of the Lord Level, valued at about five to six billion gold coins.

The second item was Beast Taming Eggs and juveniles, with the eggs numbering around two thousand, over 80% being of Excellence Level, about 15% being Perfect Level, and only a dozen or so Epic Level, with a total value of about three billion gold coins.

The juveniles numbered only about one thousand, with the quality distribution similar to the Beast Taming Eggs, bringing the total value close to two billion.

The third item was Star Treasures and Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, with roughly three hundred Star Treasures, over eighty percent being Sixth Grade or below, less than twenty percent Seventh Grade or above, with a total value close to one billion gold coins.

The Heavenly and Earthly Treasures numbered only thirty-four, with about seventy percent being Yellow Rank, thirty percent Mystical Rank, and only the Gold Flower of Metal consumed by Nirvana being Earth Tier, with a total value of around 1.5 billion.

Of course, this counts the Gold Flower of Metal; otherwise, the value of the Heavenly and Earthly Treasures would be only four to five hundred million.

Excluding the Gold Flower of Metal, the total value of this mission's harvest was around 1.6 billion. A year ago, he wouldn't have dared to dream of such a fortune, but now this sum was just the icing on the cake for him.

Finally, there was the improvement in the strength of his Guardian Beasts. Compared to wealth, Chu Chen leaned more towards the latter.

The special abilities of Lei Yao and Nirvana allowed him to experience a surge in strength in a short period, giving him a degree of self-preservation in this world.
