Beast Taming: Invincible Breeder-Chapter 483 - 468: Devour Demon, Become Emperor

After adapting to the power in the Eternal Dream Realm, Li Cunxu renamed this Venerable King-Level Purification Crystal to III Type Purification Crystal and sent one to the Alliance using the Wealth Cabinet Branch to have them test its effects.

When they saw the III Type Purification Crystal, the face of the institute’s director was filled with disbelief, and the other researchers stared at the III Type Purification Crystal with complex expressions.

They hadn’t even fully understood ordinary purification crystals yet, and the Crystal Merchant had already developed the III Type Purification Crystal. It was too fast.

According to the tests by the Alliance Institute, around a hundred III Type Purification Crystals can eliminate the Evil God pollution from Monarch Powerhouses.

Seeing the test results, the director immediately realized the importance of the III Type Purification Crystal and rushed to the Wealth Cabinet Branch, writing a letter quickly while running, to be sent to the Crystal Merchant.

The Alliance wants to purchase an unlimited amount of III Type Purification Crystals, buying as many as available.

On the Four Gods Continent, emperor-level powerhouses rarely take action. It’s mainly the Monarch Powerhouses who face off against the Four Evil Gods Sects, but due to being polluted by the Evil God, the Monarch Powerhouses can only remain in bases with purification spirit pools. Solving the Evil God pollution of the Monarch Powerhouses might allow the Alliance to go on the offensive.

The III Type Purification Crystal can not only influence the stalemate but also save the lives of many Monarch Powerhouses.

Many Monarch Powerhouses, after being polluted for a long time, cannot be suppressed by even the purification spirit pools and are on the brink of losing control. The appearance of the III Type Purification Crystal can save their lives.

Therefore, the III Type Purification Crystal is crucial for the Alliance.

The reaction from the Alliance was as Li Cunxu expected, aware of the importance of the III Type Purification Crystal, Li Cunxu took the opportunity to propose purchasing a skill seed from the Alliance.

This skill seed was somewhat special, demon-type, emperor-level skill [Swallow Demon to Become Emperor].

Swallow Demon to Become Emperor involves devouring demons, using life’s price as fuel, to absorb some of the demon’s abilities and accelerate personal growth.

This skill seed originated from the ’Emperor of Ten Thousand Demons’, the Devouring Demon Emperor.

The Devouring Demon Emperor was no ordinary figure. By mastering his own Swallow Demon to Become Emperor skill, he became an emperor in Hell within a short fifty years and devoured ten Demon Emperors during his reign.

However, due to excessive life consumption, the Devouring Demon Emperor died from old age less than five years after becoming an emperor.

The death of the Devouring Demon Emperor was also attributed to other Demon Emperors. Out of fear of him, the surrounding emperors deliberately deprived him of life-extending resources, plus the harsh environment of Hell, and such resources were scarce there.

After the Devouring Demon Emperor died, the skill Swallow Demon to Become Emperor changed hands several times, was brought into the Divine Beast World by a demon familiar, and was then seized by the Alliance, with the skill seed stored away.

Li Cunxu knew this skill seed was with the Alliance because, in a past life game, a treasure vault-guarding Monarch level familiar turned traitor, converting itself into a demon familiar, learned the skill, and caused quite a stir.

Demon-type skill seeds are, in principle, not traded by the Alliance, and if obtained, they are only stored away since demon familiars cannot be tamed, no matter how carefully raised, they eventually devour the master.

Trading out demon-type skill seeds, making demon familiars stronger, when successful, could potentially harm the Alliance itself.

Hence, all demon-type skill seeds are solely stored, not traded, and not offered for exchange.

No one has any chance of trading for it, but Li Cunxu, the mysterious Crystal Merchant, is an exception.

Li Cunxu relayed his request to the Alliance, which, after some hesitation, agreed.

Swallow Demon to Become Emperor is a powerful skill, but its flaw is a significant life-burning downside.

Through this skill, becoming a demon emperor, no matter how powerful, has a glaring weakness—short lifespan.

With life-shortening artifacts and some cost, a demon emperor can be easily dealt with.

Moreover, the Alliance had another intention, using the Swallow Demon to Become Emperor clue to locate the Crystal Merchant.

After some negotiation, Swallow Demon to Become Emperor was traded for seven hundred III Type Purification Crystals.

However, Li Cunxu did not have seven hundred on hand, so he issued a promissory note to the Alliance.

A Pure Crystal Dragon can only create one III Type Purification Crystal per day, and in three hundred and sixty-five days a year, it would take about two years to pay off.

Li Cunxu obtained the Swallow Demon to Become Emperor skill seed and gave it to the Little Demon Whale to eat immediately.

However, the Little Demon Whale, due to its innate utterly kind heart, was too kind to want to learn such an evil skill and was resistant to consuming the skill seed.

"Oh, I forgot, I haven’t contracted you yet."

Li Cunxu took back the skill seed and reached out to pat the round head of the Little Demon Whale.

Beast pet head-patting is something Li Cunxu is skilled in, and with this trick, he quickly built a rapport with the Little Demon Whale.

Just as Li Cunxu was about to contract the Little Demon Whale, a new king title coalesced.

Cang King.

Li Cunxu received the Azure Heaven King’s title and checked all the king titles the former president had coalesced—Azure Heaven King, Cang King, Cangtian Monarch, Azure Heaven Emperor.

Knowing it was the former president’s title, Li Cunxu didn’t feel particularly happy about coalescing the former president’s previous titles again.

The last Azure Heaven King brought him many benefits but also attracted the attention of the Four Evil Gods Sects and Hidden Clans, causing a lot of trouble.

Fifty-five Venerable King Beastmasters fell into a trap and met their demise, essentially due to the Azure Heaven King’s title stirring up subsequent trouble.

Therefore, possessing the Cang King’s title isn’t good news.

"Trying to keep a low profile is so hard."

Li Cunxu, who loves the cautious and matter-concealing spirit, is really troubled by this.

"The former president said the Hidden Clans wouldn’t take action against me on the surface, so it’ll only be the Four Evil Gods Sects targeting me. They will likely go crazy against me for obtaining the ’Cang King’ title."

Li Cunxu returned to the surface, connected to the internet with his phone, and found out that not only would the Four Evil Gods Sects go crazy against him, but even the Evil Divine Sons might take action against him.

"They even exposed the matter of trapping the Venerable Kings and my Flawless Law. No need to guess, it must be the Hidden Clans that did it."

Li Cunxu suddenly sensed something abnormal. Why did he expose his law as the Flawless Law back then? Even to lure the Hidden Clans’ experts into being ambushed, it wasn’t necessary to go to such lengths.

After all, the reveal of his law as the Flawless Law would lead to endless pursuit, and the pursuit would escalate quickly.

Like the tale of the gourd baby rescuing grandpa, the situation where enemies line up as experience points for the protagonist doesn’t happen in the Divine Beast World. The long-standing history of the Divine Beast World has mature experience in dealing with Man of Destiny situations, never giving them a chance to grow.

If a Venerable King fails to kill Li Cunxu, a Monarch will take immediate action.

If a Monarch fails to kill Li Cunxu, an Emperor will take immediate action.

Moreover, before the tribulation pitfall, the Hidden Clans had only besieged him once, the hatred hadn’t accumulated to such a desperate extent.
