Beast Taming: Slaughter Atlas-Chapter 551 - 495: Single-Handedly Battling Three Emperors

Chapter 551: Chapter 495: Single-Handedly Battling Three Emperors

Lei Yao let out an excited roar and charged directly toward the three beasts.

Seeing this, Wu Jiang immediately commanded the Xuanwu to meet the charge.

The Xuanwu roared, the Earth Power quickly enveloping it, forming a massive barrier in front of it.

The Vermilion Bird and Cyan Dragon soared to mid-air, simultaneously unleashing Fire Power and Wood Power.

In the blink of an eye, a gigantic fireball with a diameter of a hundred feet and a wooden cone a hundred feet long condensed in mid-air.

Seeing this, Lei Yao’s expression grew even more excited, and with a low growl, dense Thunder Elements swiftly gathered around it.

Its body was encased in streaks of Thunder Serpents, and its arms entwined by giant Thunder Dragons, making it look like a Thunder God descending upon the world from a distance.

Chu Chen nodded in satisfaction at this sight, realizing that Lei Yao had not wasted these two years, its control over Thunder Elements improving significantly.

At this moment, Lei Yao slowly raised its arms, and as its hands clenched fiercely, a gray energy instantly covered its fists, distorting the surrounding space.

Seeing this, Chu Chen’s expression turned to shock; the gray energy on Lei Yao’s fists was none other than Beast Power.

He never imagined that in just two years, Lei Yao had mastered Beast Power to such a terrifying extent.

After pondering for a moment, Chu Chen vaguely reached an answer in his mind. After Lei Yao’s breakthrough to the Emperor Level, its body was reinforced once again, naturally elevating its raw Power, and consequently improving its mastery over Beast Power significantly.

Facing the attack from the fireball and wooden cone, Lei Yao didn’t hesitate for a moment and unleashed the Lightning Fist directly.

Its fists turned into a flurry of afterimages, delivering nearly a hundred punches in the blink of an eye, shattering the fireball and wooden cone into dust.

Lei Yao let out a low growl, its legs exerted a slight force, propelling itself directly toward Xuanwu.

It swung its right arm with power, punching the barrier formed by Earth Power.

With a crisp "crack," the barrier showed numerous fine cracks, which quickly spread across it, engulfing the entire barrier in the blink of an eye.

"Boom"

The barrier could no longer withstand the force and shattered completely.

At this moment, Li Mochen and the others’ faces turned extremely grim. Although it was just a probing attack, the opponent was also probing. It seemed as if they were doing it with ease.

This implied that the opponent’s combat power was above theirs.

Chu Chen was extremely pleased with Lei Yao’s performance. Although he had been absent for two years, his counterpart’s strength continued to steadily increase, indicating that it had never slacked off during these years, perhaps even working harder than before.

As Chu Chen glanced at the grim-faced trio, he couldn’t help but retort sarcastically, "Seems like you’ve been too pampered for too long. Have you forgotten how to fight? I’m extremely disappointed in your performance."

Li Mochen and the other two’s faces darkened further at his words.

"Kid, you’re too arrogant. We were fighting battles when you were yet to be born."

Chu Chen suddenly burst into laughter upon hearing this.

"Why are you laughing?"

"Why am I laughing? I’m laughing at how incompetent you are, having lived these many years like dogs, shamelessly boasting in front of me now."

At this moment, the trio’s faces turned as red as pig liver, their anger overwhelming their rationality.

Wang Chengyu observed Chu Chen with shock-filled eyes.

He had heard about Chu Chen’s feat of defying Yin Haiping, and even verified it through others. Yet, he still underestimated his potential.

A twenty-three-year-old Emperor Level powerhouse was unheard of, and he couldn’t help but feel secretly glad, realizing he had bet on the right person. If given more time, even Sun Wenshan wouldn’t be able to suppress him.

In stark contrast was Leng Junfeng.

He had always stood by Sun Wenshan’s side, even attempting to capture Chu Chen. With Li Mochen and the others present, he thought it was a sure success.

Little did he know that Chu Chen’s Beast Mastery prowess would be so terrifying, to the point of taking on three opponents without being at a disadvantage.

Now, he once again faced a choice of survival: to continue aligning with Sun Wenshan and hope for Li Mochen’s group’s victory, which might save his life but not a thorough punishment; or to switch sides to Zhao Wudi’s camp, where his life would be safeguarded, and perhaps might even retain his current position with some meritorious service.

Comparing both scenarios, the second seemed obviously better.

Leng Junfeng was a decisive person. He swiftly approached Wang Chengyu, dropping to one knee, and pleaded, "Sir, I was momentarily bewitched, committing a grave mistake. Please forgive me considering my years of dedicated assistance, I promise undying loyalty from now on."

Wang Chengyu was taken aback by Leng Junfeng’s unexpected action but quickly understood his motive upon a second thought.

Without agreeing immediately, Wang Chengyu replied solemnly, "I’ve already sought permission from our leader. He agreed to spare your life, but whether he’ll keep you is beyond my knowledge."

Gratefully, Leng Junfeng responded, "Thank you for interceding on my behalf. I will pledge my allegiance to the leader soon."

Nodding, Wang Chengyu remarked, "You simply chose the wrong side. Since you haven’t done anything too outlandish, I reckon our leader won’t trouble you."

"Thank you.’

"Alright, gather the team, but leave the Soul Locking Gang members be."

Elated, Leng Junfeng realized that Wang Chengyu was indirectly accepting him. As for the Soul Locking Gang members, he had no intention of addressing them.

Li Mochen and the others took note of Leng Junfeng’s actions. Pointing angrily at him, Li Mochen shouted, "You’re seeking death, daring to betray! I’ll skin you alive right now."

Defiant, Leng Junfeng smirked, "I was once confused, manipulated by you into mistake-making. Now, I switch to the righteous, and I’m sure the leader will accept me."

Chu Chen nodded approvingly, stating, "Indeed, amending a fault deserves praise, but you only get one chance. Should it happen again, not even Brother Wang’s plea can save you."

Overjoyed, Leng Junfeng promised, "Thank you for sparing my life, my lord. I vow to follow you to death."

"Damn turncoat, I’ll surely cut you down today," Li Mochen roared furiously.

Chu Chen shook his head disdainfully, remarking, "How pathetic. You have lost hearts and minds entirely. Have you not recognized your errors? Is power so enticing that you fail to foresee if the Star Beasts find a better balance, humanity might face extinction?"

"Hmph! Anyone can utter lofty ideals. Are you not aware of the Star Beasts’ overwhelming strength? Not talking about those below the Emperor Level, above it, thrived the so-called Hundred Emperors, and each year a new Emperor Level emerges from their side. Faced with such a terrifying enemy, how can we respond but to concentrate all resources to nurture a Divine Level Beast Master? Only then might we have a turnaround chance."

Listening to Li Mochen’s grandstanding, Chu Chen mocked, "Spouting fallacies and heresy! Tell me, how old is Sun Wenshan? Even after a lifetime, he barely scratched the Late Stage of Emperor Level. With his aptitude, how could he ever reach that legendary Realm? Even if he wasn’t limited by talent, just in terms of Cultivation Resources, we’re nowhere near the Star Beasts. They haven’t even reached the Divine Level, what makes you think Sun Wenshan could achieve it? Besides, whether that realm truly exists is unknown. It might very well just be a conceptual Realm."
