Beast Taming: Slaughter Atlas-Chapter 610 - 551: The Mysterious Treasure Map

The three guardian beasts successfully crossed the Emperor Tribulation, and Chu Chen's overall strength improved once again.

However, everything has two sides. Although the advancement of the three beasts to the Emperor Level is delightful, it also means that they can no longer go to the front line to kill enemies.

As a result, Chu Chen's rate of acquiring Slaughter Value will naturally decrease.

Fortunately, the plan to create Emperor-level powerhouses has been more than 90% completed, and most veteran powerhouses who have yet to become Emperor-level are basically stuck due to lack of resources.

This is not something that can be resolved in a short time.

Currently, the Emperor-level powerhouses are in a situation where they have nothing to do, so to avoid wasting combat power, the Alliance directly sent them to explore the Eighth-Level Secret Realm.

Dozens of Emperor-level powerhouses explore the Eighth-Level Secret Realm together, with no need to worry about their safety as long as they are cautious. If they're lucky, they might bring out quite a lot of high-level resources.

Chu Chen's next task is to focus wholeheartedly on cultivation.

He must elevate the realms of Lei Yao and Nirvana to the Emperor Level Peak in the shortest possible time.

In the blink of an eye, three months have passed.

Today, after three months in seclusion, Chu Chen finally opened the door to the cultivation room.

After three months of secluded cultivation, the realms of Lei Yao and Nirvana have reached the Emperor Seventh Rank.

The higher the realm, the slower the cultivation speed. Even with an endless supply of blood and souls, it took the two beasts three months to break through to Mid-Stage Emperor Level.

The strength of the three beasts, Duo Fu, Die Wu, and Unyielding, experienced explosive growth.

In such a high-pressure environment at the front line, the potential of the three beasts was fully unleashed, reaching Emperor-level Peak one after another in just three months.

Of course, they also used a considerable amount of cultivation resources during these three months.

It was the combination of these two factors that allowed them to break through so quickly.

Chu Chen chooses to exit seclusion now mainly for three reasons.

First, the intense cultivation has made the foundations of Lei Yao, Nirvana, and other beasts unstable. If this continues, they might hit a bottleneck and forever be stuck at Emperor Seventh Rank.

Second, a few days ago, the Star Beast side changed their battle strategy, officially sending Emperor-level Star Beasts into the battlefield. Chu Chen intends to send several of his beasts to the battlefield for training, while he also needs a lot of Slaughter Value to improve the Talent Level of his guardian beasts.

Third, he has a complete Treasure Map that he has never explored. Before, due to insufficient strength, he didn't dare to take risks, but now he has the confidence to explore it.

Currently, his realm has also reached Emperor Seventh Rank, but he has yet to contract a new guardian beast.

Firstly, with his current strength, ordinary guardian beasts don't interest him.

Secondly, his guardian beast system is already complete, and even contracting another guardian beast wouldn't significantly enhance his strength. Moreover, he would need to spend a large amount of cultivation resources on nurturing it.

Lastly, the Treasure Map contains the Power of Time. If he's lucky, he might acquire a Time Attribute guardian beast, so he can't use his last guardian beast position lightly.

Just as Chu Chen walked out of the cultivation room, he found Zhu Dashan waiting at the door.

"How is the situation on the front line?" Chu Chen inquired solemnly.

Upon hearing the question, Zhu Dashan quickly and respectfully replied, "The front line can still hold for now. The Star Beast side has only sent some Early-Stage Emperor Level Star Beasts, but this situation won't last long. I believe they'll soon deploy Mid-Stage Emperor Level Star Beasts into the battle."

Chu Chen nodded at these words and said, "Take Cage and Feng Shuang to the front line. Also, take Duo Fu, Die Wu, and Unyielding to cross the Emperor Tribulation. Once they have crossed it, send them back to the front line." With that, he handed a Beast Taming Ring to Zhu Dashan.

Zhu Dashan quickly took the Beast Taming Ring after hearing this.

After leaving the Alliance, Chu Chen took out the mysterious Treasure Map.

The Treasure Map floated in mid-air, containing a faint Power of Time.

"Buzz"

An invisible force surged out from the Treasure Map, and the surrounding Star Power seemed to be drawn to it rapidly.

Within just a few breaths, a vortex of Star Power about ten feet in size formed around the Treasure Map.

Upon seeing this, Chu Chen was speechless, not expecting the Treasure Map to make such a commotion.

He raised his hand and released a wave of Soul Power, enveloping everything within a ten-foot radius.

As time passed, the Star Power vortex gradually dissipated, while the Power of Time within the Treasure Map became increasingly dense.

A moment later, the Treasure Map seemed to absorb enough Star Power, and a dazzling white light burst forth from it. At the same time, it also began to slowly dissolve.

In the end, only a portal emitting white light remained in place.

Seeing this, Chu Chen frowned. This portal was very similar to a Secret Realm entrance but only one meter high, not looking like a high-level Secret Realm. However, given the Treasure Map's mystical nature, the world beyond it couldn't be simple.

After some thought, Chu Chen shook his head. Since he had already made the decision, there was no need to hesitate any further, especially since Lei Yao and Nirvana had both reached Late-Stage Emperor Level. Unless he encountered a god, he had no worries about his safety.

With this in mind, Chu Chen felt much more at ease and stopped hesitating. He immediately stepped into the light portal.

Just as he entered, the white portal mysteriously vanished.

After entering the portal, Chu Chen felt a sensation of spinning, and once he regained his senses, he had already appeared in a dense forest.

Having entered many Secret Realms before, Chu Chen naturally mastered some techniques for dealing with such situations.

His figure flickered, appearing on the treetop of a huge tree, and with a wave of his hand, he summoned Shadow Kill.

His movements were as smooth as flowing water, as if they had been honed thousands of times.

Once Shadow Kill appeared, its figure flickered and vanished from sight, reappearing on a treetop not far away. A dark gold blade shimmered briefly, and a large head rolled to the ground.

Chu Chen, upon getting a clear view, felt cold sweat soaking his back. The owner of the head turned out to be an Early-Stage Emperor Level Green Chameleon.

Even though Chu Chen's realm had reached Late-Stage Emperor Level, facing a sneak attack from an Early-Stage Emperor Level Star Beast would have been fatal.

Luckily, he was cautious enough, or he would have faced certain death today.

However, from this Green Chameleon, he gained some useful information; this Secret Realm is at least an Eighth-Level Secret Realm, as he'd encountered an Early-Stage Emperor Level Star Beast right after entering.

Chu Chen took a deep breath to calm himself down.

He leaped down from the treetop and stored the Green Chameleon's corpse in his Spatial Ring. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

This was an Emperor-level Star Beast, with its entire body being a treasure.

After finishing everything, Chu Chen did not leave immediately. Instead, he carefully observed his surroundings.

This must be the Green Chameleon's territory. Being an Emperor-level Star Beast, its territory would likely contain Heavenly and Earthly Treasures.

Even if there aren't any Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, if he could find its nest, he might even discover its Beast Taming Egg.

Finding either would mean this Secret Realm venture wasn't in vain.

With this in mind, Chu Chen didn't hesitate any longer. He leaped onto Shadow Kill's back.

Understanding the signal, Shadow Kill quickly flapped its wings and soared into the sky.

After breaking through to Emperor Level, Shadow Kill's speed increased by at least 50%.

With its current speed, it only took a few minutes to find the Green Chameleon's nest.

Its nest was located in a tree hollow beneath a thousand-foot-tall giant tree.

The surroundings of the tree hollow were covered with claw marks, and the irregularly shaped entrance was about four feet in diameter; even with Shadow Kill's current size, it could barely squeeze in.
