Beast Taming: Invincible Breeder-Chapter 477 - 462: Ambush (Part 5)

Dong Hanshuang refused to call for reinforcements, but the four Venerable Kings were filled with murderous intent, insisting on calling for reinforcements to kill Li Cunxu.

The intense murderous intent emanating from the four Venerable Kings left Dong Hanshuang horrified.

"Uncle King Beng, why are you four so determined to call for reinforcements?"

Dong Hanshuang asked, somewhat confused. She felt that the four Venerable Kings were overly fearful.

Even if Li Cunxu successfully overcame the tribulation and broke through to become a Venerable King, so what? He was a newly advanced Venerable King, while they had four Venerable Kings on their side, along with their Venerable King’s pet beasts and the geographical advantage of the Four Seasons Array. Dong Hanshuang couldn’t think of a reason why their side would lose.

If defeat was not possible, then why bother calling for reinforcements?

King Beng gazed at Li Cunxu, who was undergoing the tribulation, his eyes filled with intense dread.

"Li Cunxu’s talent is astonishing. We must kill Li Cunxu in this battle without any mishap, or else the Four Seasons Clan will face endless troubles in the future."

Hearing this, Dong Hanshuang was shocked that King Beng had elevated Li Cunxu’s talent to a threat against the entire Four Seasons Clan.

It should be noted that they were a Hidden Clan.

To become a Hidden Clan, the minimum requirement was to have an emperor, and their Four Seasons Dong Family was an old-established Hidden Clan, having produced several emperors and leaving behind exceptionally rich heritage. Even a fragment of the Evil God from the Four Gods would need to avoid confrontation.

Moreover, King Beng was not just referring to her Dong Family but to the spring, summer, autumn, and winter clans.

Dong Hanshuang questioned, "Uncle King Beng, are you overestimating Li Cunxu, thinking he can threaten the Four Seasons Clan?"

King Beng replied, "You don’t understand the terror of Li Cunxu’s talent. He possesses the Flawless Law."

"What is the Flawless Law?"

"Do you know why the clan strictly prohibits the talented sequence from absorbing others’ laws? It’s to keep one’s laws flawless.

The so-called Flawless Law is the law that has not absorbed others, with the benefit of a 20% increase in the probability of breaking through to the emperor level. Whether a law is flawless can be identified by the Thunder Tribulation—the law that emits flawless silver light when struck by thunder is a Flawless Law."

"What does a 20% increased probability of breaking through to the emperor level matter? It’s not a 100% breakthrough, and even if he luckily breaks through to emperor, the Four Seasons Clan has four emperors, Li Cunxu will be on a path of death, how could he threaten the Four Seasons..."

At first, Dong Hanshuang didn’t care, but as she continued to speak, her voice suddenly stopped.

Because she suddenly realized the terror of Li Cunxu’s talent, her eyes filled with horror.

The point of the Flawless Law is not the 20% increased probability of breaking through to the emperor level, but that Li Cunxu broke through from King Level 1 to Venerable King level without absorbing others’ spiritual laws.

How long has Li Cunxu been a King? Less than five years.

In less than five years, he broke through from King to Venerable King, without absorbing others’ laws, relying purely on his self-cultivation.

Even for people of a Hidden Clan, supported by the best Land of Spirit, and consuming the best auxiliary pills, it would take twenty to thirty years to break through from King to Venerable King.

Li Cunxu achieved this in less than five years.

Such a pace in law cultivation would astonish even an emperor if they knew.

Now, Dong Hanshuang understood why the four Venerable Kings were filled with murderous intent toward Li Cunxu; this talent was terrifying and truly deserved to be killed.

Dong Hanshuang was unaware that Li Cunxu’s Will Law had reached the peak of King Level not recently but a year ago. Otherwise, Dong Hanshuang would have even more intense killing intent, even resorting to call out the clan’s Venerable ancestors.

A year ago, Li Cunxu didn’t rush to break through to Venerable King.

First, the World of Ten Thousand Beasts was not suitable for breakthroughs.

Second, the growth rate of the Will Law was so fast that Li Cunxu was concerned about any hidden issues arising from such rapid growth.

In the end, there were none.

Third, Li Cunxu was contemplating a second law.

Breakthrough to Venerable King allowed the body to bear a second law.

A Venerable has three.

An emperor has four.

A second law can be comprehended or not; generally, a Beast Master only cultivates one law because energy is limited. One must cultivate oneself and care for the pet beasts. Moreover, cultivating just one law can also lead to an emperor breakthrough. Hence, many people start comprehending a second law after breaking through to emperor or when their strength can’t increase, to expand their power horizontally.

Li Cunxu didn’t have such concerns. Any spiritual law’s branch law seemed to grow rapidly, thanks to Li Cunxu’s spiritual power reserves equivalent to a monarch’s, spiking the growth of the laws.

Like water and fish, spiritual power is like water, and the laws are like fish. For others, spiritual power might be a pond, requiring care to grow more fish (laws). Li Cunxu’s spiritual power is like an ocean, not needing care, where fish multiply on their own.

Dong Hanshuang called for reinforcements, and King Beng, with a serious expression, said, "Call more people. I see that Li Cunxu is so confident and fearless, likely having some trump card. But no matter what it is, we must kill him today."

With just a few words, Dong Hanshuang relayed news of Li Cunxu’s terrifying talent to the clan, drawing significant attention from the Four Seasons Clan, which dispatched twelve Venerable Kings.

Adding the original four Venerable Kings, there were sixteen Venerable Kings in total, an unprecedentedly strong lineup supported by the Four Seasons Array, giving Dong Hanshuang confidence that she could trap even a monarch.

However, Dong Hanshuang’s unfailing intuition felt uneasy.

She vaguely sensed that so many Venerable Kings arriving might play into Li Cunxu’s hands.

To confirm this, Dong Hanshuang requested the reinforcing Venerable Kings, "Uncles, could you please reveal a trace of your Venerable aura? I want to confirm something."

With some acknowledgment of Dong Hanshuang’s strategic foresight, the Venerable Kings granted her favor, releasing a trace of aura.

As the aura was released, Dong Hanshuang kept her eyes fixed on Li Cunxu, wanting to see his reaction to the presence of so many Venerable Kings.

In the end... Li Cunxu had no reaction.

No reaction was the most abnormal reaction. Encircled by sixteen Venerable Kings, ordinary people would feel panicked and terrified.

Dong Hanshuang grew more uneasy, "So many Venerable Kings should not have come; there must be a scheme in play."

But asking the Venerable Kings to leave and abandon killing Li Cunxu? Dong Hanshuang couldn’t bring herself to say it. What if Li Cunxu was pretending to be calm, playing a false ruse?

She dared not gamble. Li Cunxu’s talent was too terrifying; he must die.

Moreover, Li Cunxu was too adept at hiding, having disappeared for three years before this. If he was allowed to escape and hide again completely, what then?

Dong Hanshuang couldn’t bear the cost of letting Li Cunxu escape.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Dong Hanshuang, thinking of a countermeasure.

Dong Hanshuang crafted a message, embellishing Li Cunxu’s talent as even more terrifying, almost declaring that Li Cunxu was the next alliance’s old president.

She then sent the message to other members of the Hidden Clan, requesting them to forward it to other Hidden Clans.
