Chapter 541 — Su Su and Ya Ya's Epic Enhancement
The Beast-Taming Craftsman Page 4 of 5
Together, they would overcome the abyss!
The power of the abyss could only ever be its weapon, never its master—this was the resolve Yaya had set in its heart back when it had received the abyssal inheritance in its former life.
BOOM!!!
A dread abyssal intimidation erupted from Yaya's body, like an Asura demon-god, ceaselessly forcing back everyone but Susu. That terrifying aura moved even Shiyi and Chongchong deeply, and Xiaoj more than any.
It felt as though Yaya's intimidation now was more fearsome than its own Ruinous Dragon Might, and better able to sway the minds of living things.
"Roar..." Xiaoj gave a low growl. And no wonder—the World-Destroying Demon Dragon was only an avatar of a top-tier divine ancestor dragon, whereas the Abyssal Evil God was one of the three super-divine beings who had thrown even Blue Star into chaos...
Xiaoj trembled. M-M-M, no way. Sensing Yaya's steadily swelling aura, its hackles rose with a ache in its heart: surely it wouldn't be crushed under Yaya again after only a few days of swaggering about?
"ROAR!!" A moment later, watching Yaya painfully fuse with the Evil God's contact lenses, Xiaoj cast every thought aside and began to cheer it on.
"Roar!! (Stupid duck, hang in there! Once the fusion succeeds and you master it, you'll surpass me—do you really want to fail??)"
Xiaoj's encouragement seemed to work even better than Shi Ying's mental resonance support; hearing it dimly, Yaya's willpower surged.
"Ya!!"
How long passed, no one could say, but at last the abyssal power spilling from Yaya's body dispersed.
At the same time, Yaya lifted its head.
Shi Jin, Susu, Lin, Xiaoj, and the others breathed a sigh of relief—though not entirely.
"Ya. (I'm blind, but I've gotten stronger.)" Eyes shut, hands in its pockets, Yaya gazed up at the starry sky.
It reached out and gathered a strip of golden cloth from its demon-subduing power, tying it over its eyes.
Shiyi, Chongchong, Ginseng Baby, and the other beasts were alarmed. Blind?
"Ying ying ying?? (Ginseng Baby, can it be cured?)"
Ginseng Baby: "Ee-ya! (I want to know too.)"
"Quit fooling around." Shi Li: "It's fine. The Eye of the Evil God and Abyssal Liberation simply combined their intimidation into a new ability."
"Ga!" Yaya flashed a thumbs-up at the whole team and grinned.
[Name]: Pupil of the Evil God
[Attributes]: Darkness, Water, Spirit, Space
[Grade]: Quasi-God Tier · Faith Skill
[Description]: Once the eye is opened, it can directly seize the stray negative energy of darkness drifting through the cosmos to strengthen its own abyssal power.
This so-called negative energy comes from all the negative emotional energy of living beings—envy, scheming, rivalry, greed, sloth, and the like. It is a faith skill of a different sort, one that can directly vault Yaya's strength up a whole tier—though it is likewise extremely dangerous.
But the strength of this Pupil of the Evil God lies in this: it will never lose its source of power. Even if every living thing in the cosmos were extinguished, negative energy could not vanish.
Even if the cosmos itself were destroyed and a new cosmic era began, negative energy would still pervade the universe.
Clearly, this was an ability akin to the Vast Sea and Star Sea pacts!
"Can you be sure you can keep this power under control?" said Shi Tang.
"Ya! (If I can't control it, then let Big Sister Susu wipe me out.)" Blindfolded, Yaya answered with complete confidence.
"Ning!! (I won't go easy!)"
"Roar!! (Same here.)" Xiaoj.
"Good. I hope these skills won't affect you, and that you can always keep hold of yourself." Shi Li.
"Ya!! (No problem—just help me raise my purification-type skills a bit higher!!)" Yaya was blind in the eye, but not in the heart; rubbing its hands together, it spoke with undiminished eagerness.
"ROAR!! (Still more?)" Little Ji was furious.
At this very moment, Eleven, Buggy, Red Eye, and the rest were all the more convinced of the theory that the later you allocated points, the stronger you became—hurry up, hurry up, let it be their turn already!
…………
For now, though abusing the Star Sea Contract would lower the contract degree, fortunately the Origin Fluctuation could still be used on its own; with Susu and Ginseng Baby working together, the speed at which Shi Jin allocated points to Yaya soared.
In just one short day, Yaya had turned into this.
[Name]: Yaya
[Racial Skills]
[Super Tier]: Death Vortex (Peerless Mastery), Dark Sky Fluctuation Rain (Peerless Mastery), Water Element Control (Perfect)
[Quasi-God Tier]: Heart of the Abyss (Proficient +11), Vajra Demon-Subduing Pestle (Skilled), Eye of the Evil God (Beginner), Fluctuation Vision · Mind Eye (Skilled)
Like Little Ji, it too now possessed four quasi-god skills.
Among them, Heart of the Abyss was the standard-issue skill of the Blue Star Abyssal Sea half-gods.
It belonged to the category of burst skills that eroded one's own body in exchange for tremendous combat power.
Eye of the Evil God was much the same, a powerful burst skill.
Stack the two skills together, and Shi Jin reckoned Yaya could shoot straight up to the heavens, its combat power off the charts, becoming the brightest star of the Abyssal Clan.
If you tried to claim it was not of the Abyssal Clan, the Abyssal Clan themselves would probably not believe you.
The Vajra Demon-Subduing Pestle, meanwhile, was a racial skill from when Yaya evolved into the Demon-Subduing Duck, upgraded to quasi-god tier.
It was an exceedingly powerful skill for driving out evil forces, counted as one of the purification-type skills, combining purification with both offense and defense.
In its current form, Yaya was a giant duck with a black body and deep blue markings, with ribbon-like strips of pure, flowing water, condensed from golden-blue demon-subduing purification power, bound around its neck and over its eyes!!
In its hands it also held a Vajra Demon-Subduing Pestle condensed from golden water, utterly sacred.
It looked like an Abyssal Clansman, and yet not entirely.
For now, although the Abyssal power was so immense that Yaya could not casually open its eyes, that did not stop it from perceiving everything in the outside world through spiritual power and fluctuation power.
Among these, Fluctuation Vision · Mind Eye was the fruit of Yaya's cultivation in this regard brought to full mastery.
It was both a reconnaissance skill and a purification skill.
Fluctuation Vision · Mind Eye had been fused from a whole pile of Yaya's skills—Water Blade, Critical Strike, Heart Sword, Purification, Fluctuation Sword, Super Vision, and more—and beyond all that, it had also fused one crucial skill.
Susu's Origin Fluctuation.
Shi Jin had copied Susu's Water Element Control and Origin Fluctuation and taught them to Yaya.
Unfortunately, Yaya had no affinity at all for the Origin Fluctuation; otherwise, it would have become the mightiest purification envoy among the Abyssal Clan.
Even so, as things stood, with Origin Fluctuation at its core and a pile of purification techniques fused in, the resulting Fluctuation Vision · Mind Eye was already a purification skill of extraordinary power.
This was a psychic eye technique that could directly let Yaya open its Mind Eye and enter the Fluctuation Vision state; once entered, it could maintain absolute calm, foresee danger, see negative-energy dark matter, and condense purification fluctuations to strike their weak points with unerring accuracy, doubling the power and doubling its ability to command Abyssal power.
Four quasi-god skills—two Abyssal burst skills and two purification skills. For a moment, Shi Yi couldn't quite say whether it was of the Abyssal Clan or a member of the Environmental Protection Association.
