The elder’s gaze fell upon the terrifying legendary ferocious beast before him, a hint of solemnity in his eyes.
Like other beast ranks, legendary also had sub-ranks.
His true rank was merely upper legendary, at most at the peak of the legendary tier. As long as he hadn't transcended, he was still just a legendary.
Facing such a lineup of ferocious beasts, the situation was indeed extremely perilous!
“You lot really got a great deal back then!”
The elder looked at the Chaos Giant Ape before him. Its strength was the most formidable, with phantom images of ancient Great Ferocities surrounding its massive body.
It had devoured as many as eight Great Ferocities!
Even in that era, an upper legendary was considered an apex powerhouse.
And the Chaos Giant Ape, relying on the bloodlines of eight Great Ferocities, had gone from a king-level minor ferocious beast to the upper legendary realm. This could be called a heaven-defying stroke of luck.
“Kill! We have no retreat!”
The Chaos Giant Ape’s body suddenly transformed, growing to a thousand meters in size. Simultaneously, gray-black mist emanated from its surroundings, causing space itself to distort continuously.
After a thousand years of devouring and digestion, it had successfully absorbed the bloodlines of eight Great Ferocities, further condensing a Chaos attribute within itself. This was a high-tier attribute, no less significant than time.
It looked up and stepped forward, heading directly for the moon in the sky!
At the same time, the Dark Nether Tree and the Celestial Rabbit followed suit.
The three ferocious emperors of the upper legendary rank directly targeted the moon, which controlled the power of time!
However, even with their combined might, they were still suppressed by the elder’s sixth contracted spirit.
Having devoured the Purple Moon Great Ferocity, its strength had advanced further. Coupled with its mastery of time, it was undoubtedly the most powerful entity on the battlefield!
For a time, the great battle between both sides reignited!
Although it was only the initial stage of the great battle, both humans and ferocious beasts now held nothing back, pouring all their effort into the fight!
Boom boom boom!
The celestial phenomena were chaotic, and the Blue Star trembled!
All living beings on the Blue Star shivered, hiding in their territories, silently waiting for the battle to end.
The ferocious beasts in the异空间 (yìkōngjiān - different dimension) were no different. They dared not even search for food, only remaining in their territories.
This was the most terrifying battle in over a thousand years!
And while both sides were locked in battle,
Within the starry sky ruins,
Chen Shu’s eyes remained closed.
Beside him, four contracted spirits waited silently, having completed their bloodline evolutions.
Unfortunately, only Erha had reached the Ultimate form. Although the Spatial Rabbit was SS+, it had not unsealed its bloodline shackles, thus its evolution failed.
The Little Sprite and the Slime had no shackles, but one was SS rank and the other S+. A single evolution could not push them to SSS rank.
The reason Chen Shu had taken so long to break through was not due to his contracted spirits’ bloodline evolutions,
But rather his fifth contracted spirit!
He himself had broken through to the king rank long ago,
But he had been unable to contract a new creature…
It wasn’t for lack of creatures willing to contract with him, but a certain power had been guiding him, seemingly searching for a specific creature on the continent of the other world…
Chen Shu was extremely familiar with this power and instinctively possessed absolute trust in it, thus cooperating by searching for the creature he wished to contract.
Until today,
A new beast-contracting space quietly materialized beside Chen Shu…
This also signified that he had begun attempting to contract a spirit and was about to possess his fifth contracted spirit!
After a while,
Chen Shu’s eyes suddenly snapped open, and the new beast-contracting space had fully condensed.
“Is this the king rank?!”
Chen Shu didn’t rush to look at his contracted spirit. Instead, he clenched his fists, feeling that his own physical quality had undergone a qualitative change.
Now, he could even fight ferocious beasts with his physical body, though only low-level ones…
The main combat would still have to be carried out by his contracted spirits.
However, as his physical quality strengthened, so did his mental power. He could now ignore the effects of various skills.
“Roar roar roar—”
At this moment, seeing Chen Shu awake, Erha, who was beside him, immediately rushed over, bouncing excitedly on him.
“Alright…”
Chen Shu grabbed the dog’s head and simultaneously opened the contracted spirit panel.
Erha was already SSS rank, so there was no bloodline evolution. However, its attributes had still significantly surged.
The Spatial Dragon Rabbit remained SS+, with a massive surge in its spatial attributes.
It had also learned a new skill: [Spatial Decapitation: Unleash countless invisible spatial blades that cut down everything in their path.]
As one of the high-tier attributes, the spatial attribute was not only the fastest but also the sharpest, equivalent to an advanced version of the wind attribute.
With this skill, the rabbit’s combat ability had increased again, making it a perfect contracted spirit that balanced both survival and combat capabilities.
As for Little Huang and Little Sprite, their potential ratings had reached SS and SS+ respectively.
Although they had no new skills, their main attributes had surged significantly, and their strength had undergone a qualitative change.
With just the four contracted spirits before him, Chen Shu could now fight against king-rank three-star creatures without needing Berserk Pills.
However, what he was most concerned about was naturally the newly appeared fifth contracted spirit!
At this moment, Chen Shu turned his gaze to the new beast-contracting space beside him and couldn’t help but think:
“When I broke through, I sensed a power that had been guiding me. This contracted spirit… likely carries destiny!”
After all, his previous contracted spirits were all contracted by chance, and this had never happened before.
For a moment, he couldn’t help but indulge in a bit of youthful fantasy…
Now that he was in a state of human-spirit unity, his thoughts were naturally sensed by the other four contracted spirits.
“That power, do you feel it’s familiar?”
“Hmm?”
The mental information from the Little Sprite instantly stunned Chen Shu, and he instinctively felt a bad premonition.
“How do you know?”
“Is there a possibility that it’s my power…”
“??”
Chen Shu’s eyes widened as if struck by lightning, his mind momentarily going blank.
“The fifth contracted spirit, you guided me to contract it?! It wasn’t a guide from destiny?!”
“Uh…”
Seeing his master’s agitated emotions, the Little Sprite continued to communicate mentally:
“I just thought, since there will be a new companion, why not find someone I know so we can get along better and build a harmonious big family in the future…”
“…”
Chen Shu’s heart tightened, and he felt like he was suffocating…
What I want is an increase in combat power! What kind of time is this to be building a harmonious big family?!
