Chapter 435 — Killing Until No One Dares Fight
The Beast-Taming Craftsman Page 2 of 8
Unscientific Beast Taming instant update—at this moment, all fire-type overlords with combat power above top-tier overlord, especially the Lava Behemoth and the Flame Dragon King, wore expressions full of mocking smiles.
This human had merely eaten an undying fruit—was he not getting a bit too full of himself?
Did he really think no one dared to kill him?
Boom!!
Whether it was the Flame Dragon King or it, both radiated earth-shaking intimidation, both having reached the level of perfection.
Seeing them, the hearts of the other fire-type overlords were immediately doused as if by a basin of cold water.
These two were recognized as strong across all the Totem Nations—how could anyone possibly compete with them?
Wait!
Was there a chance to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight?
Let the Flame Dragon King and the Lava Behemoth tear into each other first, and wait for both to be badly wounded?
Quite a few fire-type creatures conceived this idea.
Otherwise, to directly fight and compete with them would be no different from courting death.
The odds of victory were far too small.
"Ye Xing." In the Donghuang region, Shen Ling called out to Ye Xing.
Ye Xing shook his head. "With my Scarlet Sun Rock and my beast-taming talent, fighting a top-tier Overlord is already my limit. The odds of winning with a single beast are very slim."
Shenling was silent for a moment, then said, "The same goes for my Fire Plume Fan."
Though she was the descendant of a Mechanical Legend, Shenling's beast-taming talent was peculiar: the more ancient the contracted beast, the greater the power it could unleash.
So she mostly contracted antique sword- and blade-type undead.
"Strong, yes, but isn't it a bit risky? After all, it's only King-tier."
"It'll be fine."
Meanwhile, on Lin Shuo's side, he watched Shi Jin fly toward the Fire Arena without a moment's hesitation, and his heart clenched.
Shi Jin was going to defend the ring!
And as for Shi Ying's fire-type beasts, it seemed Scarlet Eye was the only one, and Scarlet Eye was only King-tier!
After possessing Shi Jin, it might be able to match an invincible Overlord in combat power, but the burden would surely be immense. Against a normal invincible Overlord like the Flame Dragon King, it would probably struggle badly.
Besides, the Flame Dragon King had a Beastmaster too.
Going up first to defend the ring just like that—was that really all right?
Judging by Shi Jin's urgency, it was as if he feared someone might use even a bit of his Fire of Living Beings.
[It'll be fine.]
As Shi Jin flew, his heart was firm.
The Boar God had said so.
This was fire-type combat with human Beastmasters as the main body.
In other words, if a human Beastmaster contracted seven fire-type creatures, then all seven could be used in battle.
Others might not know, but Shi Jin was certain: after its evolution, Ginseng Baby had also gained a faint fire attribute.
It was the lowest-tier attribute, but it did have a flame body.
In other words, he could use two beasts: Scarlet Eye and Ginseng Baby.
Under those circumstances, whether it was the Flame Dragon King or some Lava Behemoth, even if a Totem-tier foe appeared, the combination of Scarlet Eye, Ginseng Baby, and himself might not be unable to put up a fight.
Since this trial's attribute matched his own, he had to win it.
The Fire of Living Beings...
The Rule of Life.
Not bad.
If Scarlet Eye's several necromancy skills were honed to their utmost, they might touch the Rule of Death. Add the Rule of Life, and that would be the Great Dao of Life and Death.
Actually, Shi Jin felt he didn't even need Ginseng Baby, that fake fire-type.
As long as the opponent wasn't a Totem, he and Scarlet Eye could slaughter everything!
Once the Boar God said that much, neither the Flame Dragon King nor the Lava Behemoth could sit still any longer.
Both planned to be the first to go up and defend the ring.
But the Fire Arena was, after all, the place closest to Donghuang, and one person was faster than all the rest.
Everyone stared, dumbstruck, at the human figure flying wrapped in telekinetic power.
He wore a dark red trench coat, his clothes and short hair fluttering in the wind.
That familiar face instantly reminded the people of every faction of the figure who had brazenly declared his championship ambitions during the preliminaries.
"I will become the new World Legend!"
This kid hadn't been just talking.
At a Mythic Trial that tested combat power, he really dared to be the first to step forward, as if he truly could beat those invincible Overlords.
"Shi Jin—"
"Shi Jin, he—"
At that moment, as Shi Jin flew toward the arena and slowly landed within the Fire Arena, raising his head to meet the Boar God's gaze, everyone was stunned.
Even the World Tree clone immediately fell silent, watching Shi Jin.
This kid...
If it remembered correctly, Shi Ying's bear and dragon were indeed very strong, but fire-type...
Wasn't the fire-type beast only King-tier?
How dared he come to undertake this Mythic Trial?
The relationship between the Totem Nations and the Seven Nations had always been one of irreconcilable hostility; in a competition like this, no one would hold back.
One slip, and it would mean death.
Though it was possible that Shi Jin did not fear death anyway.
"Shi Jin—" At this moment, as Shi Jin made his entrance, Sister Xiong Qi,
A human—even if resurrected as a totem, what of it? Nothing but the weakest of totems.
For invincible Overlords like them, who could contend with ordinary totems, fighting him truly was no problem at all.
At this moment, once Shi Jin stepped up, quite a few top-tier Overlords grew restless.
Although Shi Jin had single-handedly defeated a top-tier Overlord, the gatekeeping Overlord of the preliminaries was merely the weakest of top-tier Overlords. Many present who possessed Overlord Will, energy values above eighty million, and the amplification of a Beastmaster were confident they could one-shot the gatekeeping Overlord of the preliminaries.
So when they saw Shi Jin appear, they all wanted to test him first.
At the very least, this Jia Qi was far easier to deal with than invincible Overlords like the Flame Dragon King.
If one could so much as graze a single wisp of the Flame of Living Things, it would not be a loss.
At worst, when they later encountered someone stronger, they could simply concede.
At that thought, many fire-attribute creatures leapt up in excitement.
In the west, a phoenix wreathed in blue flames suddenly flew toward the arena.
In the south, a lion blazing all over charged onto the field.
On each of them rode a young Beastmaster—though who was master and who was servant was plain at a glance.
Shi Qi looked at these Overlords and grew solemn inside. Their energy values all exceeded eighty million, and they too possessed Overlord Will; with legendary Beastmaster servants, their energy could probably erupt past a hundred million with ease—no wonder they dared to challenge him.
But...
"ROAR!!!!!"
Sharing the same thought as Shi Shuo was the Flame Dragon King Punkham; it too soared into the sky, and at once its peerless dragon might shrouded heaven and earth, pressing straight down upon the phoenix and the Holy Flame Lion.
Clearly, it did not want anyone to beat it to the punch and use its Flame of Living Things first.
Whether it was Shi Yu or the Flame Dragon King, both wanted the complete Flame of Living Things.
So it was impossible for them to let anyone else settle a victory on the field first—not even with a single use of flame.
[Name]: Flame Dragon King
[Attributes]: Dragon, Fire
[Growth Tier]: Overlord-class
[Energy Value]: 96.99 million
Compared with the power of the phoenix and the Holy Flame Lion, the Flame Dragon King's dragon force was plainly more savage.
