Beast Taming: Slaughter Atlas-Chapter 552 - 496: Still Not Enough

Li Mochen said coldly with a gloomy face, "Enough with the nonsense. Our paths differ, no point in talking further. Let’s see the truth through our actions."

As his words fell, the Cyan Dragon let out a low dragon roar, and its whole aura began to surge wildly.

In just a breath, its aura reached the mid-Emperor Level Five.

Zhang Heng and Wu Jiang exchanged a glance, and immediately let their Guardian Beasts reveal their trump cards.

Xuanwu’s aura directly reached Emperor Level Four, while Vermilion Bird’s aura reached mid-Emperor Level Three.

Chu Chen saw this and suddenly laughed, glancing at the three, he said, "You’re showing off your weapons like showing off in front of Guan Gong. Lei Yao, reveal your trump card as well."

Lei Yao heard this, also smiled and nodded, boasting that in terms of number of trump cards, it had never lost.

"Roar!"

Lei Yao let out a roar, initiating its Talent Frenzy.

Its aura began to soar, from early Emperor Level Two, it surged directly to late-Emperor Level Two.

Seeing the aura stabilizing, Li Mochen couldn’t help but taunt, "Is this your trump card? Truly laughable. If so, you’d better surrender."

Chu Chen ignored the comment and nodded with satisfaction.

Although he hadn’t been by Lei Yao’s side these two years, the Slaughter Atlas could still be used normally.

After eight beasts fought for nearly two years on the front lines, his Slaughter Value reached an astonishing level.

Afraid that Lei Yao and the beasts might be in danger, he often expanded their domain range and boosted their Talent Level.

Currently, Chu Chen had enhanced all of Lei Yao’s talents to A-level.

Having Lei Yao use Talent Frenzy alone was to see how much enhancement Frenzy at A-level would bring.

"Not bad, the enhancement is more than expected. Continue," Chu Chen said calmly.

Hearing this, Lei Yao directly used the Beast Soul Power talent, and behind it appeared the phantom of a towering giant ape hundreds of feet high.

Its aura began to climb again, from late-Emperor Level Two, shooting straight up to the mid-stage peak of Third Rank, just a hair away from late-Stage Third Rank.

Seeing this, the three of Li Mochen couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Hmph! Just bluffing, after all, it’s only mid-Emperor Level Three. I thought you’d make bigger waves."

"Yes, it seems the rumors can’t be trusted. You probably killed Elder Yin using some underhanded means; how could you have killed him otherwise with this level of power?"

Chu Chen remained calm upon hearing these words, only saying lightly, "Continue."

Lei Yao let out another low roar, activating its Racial Secret Technique directly.

The rich forces of thunder, beast, and blood quickly surged into its body.

Lei Yao’s aura began to rise again, from the mid-stage peak of Emperor Level Three, directly reaching mid-Emperor Level Four.

Chu Chen, feeling Lei Yao’s aura, couldn’t help but frown. Upon reaching Emperor Level, the difference between each minor realm is vast, especially from early to mid-stage.

With such power, there’s no chance of winning against Sun Wenshan. Thinking this, Chu Chen wanted to test where Lei Yao’s limits lay.

At this point, Li Mochen and the other’s faces became extremely ugly. What kind of method was this, that could make a Guardian Beast’s aura rise consecutively three times? 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

They were all high-ranked Beast Masters, with Guardian Beasts of extremely high quality. The only way to greatly increase power in a short time, aside from Racial Secret Techniques, was talents. Yet, 99% of beasts have only one talent, and very few might have two, with uncertain quality.

Yet, such a probability had come to pass for them.

Chu Chen ignored the three and again said, "Continue."

This "continue" exploded in the ears of the three like a thunderclap.

"It can continue?" they almost said in unison, their eyes full of shock.

"Roar!"

Lei Yao let out another roar, directly triggering the Thunder God Transformation, an S-level talent.

The sky was instantly shrouded in darkness, with thunder dragons roaring, rapidly surging towards Lei Yao’s body as if drawn by some force.

Its originally crimson-gold eyes immediately turned blue-white, encircled by thunder dragons, glaring forcefully like a thunderous sun.

Its aura erupted like a fountain, from mid to late-Emperor Level Four... until it finally stopped at the peak of Level Five.

"Only the peak of Level Five? What a pity, seems we’ll have to wait longer," Chu Chen murmured.

The surroundings fell into dead silence, mouths agape, eyes full of shock.

After what felt like ages, Elder Bai was the first to recover, and his first reaction was an exclamation, "This is a huge gain!"

Upon hearing this, the others came to their senses, shooting Elder Bai disdainful looks.

Only then did Elder Bai realize he had voiced his thoughts, sheepishly clearing his throat, "Everyone, we’re mostly recovered. It’s time to settle things with the Soul Locking Gang."

The members of the Bai Shi Gang responded one after another, "Indeed, if we let them go, we don’t know how much more harm they’d cause."

"I’ve long wanted to deal with them, today we’ll make sure they stay here."

Hearing this, the faces of Suo Lei and others changed collectively. Now that Leng Junfeng had allied with Wang Chengyu, and with the three of Li Mochen facing the peak of a Fifth Rank Emperor Level Lei Yao, they dared not make a move.

In other words, Leng Junfeng’s two major backers had crumbled, leaving him only one path: fight to the death.

"Brothers, we’re at a dead end. Our only chance to survive is to fight," he said, surveying the surroundings, attempting to find an escape route.

With the Soul Locking Gang already outnumbering the Bai Shi Gang, if the latter wanted to flee, they’d struggle to hold all Soul Locking Gang members.

Just as tensions reached a boiling point, Chu Chen spoke again, "Nirvana, surround this place, let no one escape."

Nirvana, receiving the order, acted without hesitation, raising its pincers as undead poured from the realm of the Divine Treasure.

In just a few breaths, the number of undead reached tens of thousands, showcasing King-level power from their size.

Under Nirvana’s control, the undead army quickly encircled the Soul Locking Gang members.

Seeing this, Leng Junfeng’s face turned extremely grim. He knew his doom was at hand, but he was also a fierce one.

He glared at Chu Chen coldly, leading with, "Brothers, follow me, kill one to break even, kill two to profit." With that, he charged towards Elder Bai and the others.

Elder Bai and Shi Feng shared a look, a terrifying killing intent burning in their eyes.

They wasted no time, commanding their Guardian Beasts to charge forward.

The fight on both sides was straightforward and straightforward—nothing less than life and death.

After all, it was now a kill-or-be-killed situation.
