Chapter 692 — A Hard-Won Cosmic Tier
The Beast-Taming Craftsman · Page 2 of 8
"The Space-Time Shadowless Sword," said the Realm King. "After this universe gave birth to the origin rules of the sword, this cosmic treasure was nurtured from the most primal origin of the sword combined with the power of space-time. It has no form; only beings versed in the rules of the sword can sense it and wield it."
"I recall that you are well versed in the way of the sword—it should serve you as a handy weapon."
With that, the Realm King sent the Space-Time Shadowless Sword before Shi Jin. It was indeed a supreme treasure; Shi Jin could confirm that even a sword spirit of Transcendence 1, so long as it could skillfully bind this thing, would have no trouble matching a Xuanxiao Peak in combat power.
"Many thanks, Realm King." Shi Yan narrowed his eyes, delighted with the gift—above all because this sword contained formidable space-time power. With Crimson Eye holding it, Qi probably wouldn't even be able to flee through space-time travel; it would be one slash, one Time Sprite.
It was perfect for Crimson Eye, who likewise commanded the origin of the sword, to fuse and temper his space-time sword way.
Cosmic treasures... all of them good things. Shi Jin suddenly felt a little urge to outfit every one of his beasts with a cosmic treasure.
To shore up their foundations.
He wondered how many treasures he could plunder from the Dark King after defeating it...
The plundering intent radiating from Shi Jin climbed higher and higher, drawing the attention of the Realm King and the Supernatural Mirror, making their eyelids twitch.
"The Dark King and the Beast King are still eroding the barrier, aren't they." Shi Tang turned to the Realm King.
"Lord Realm King, interested in launching a counterattack together?"
The Realm King said, "Are we going to war in earnest, then... I have long been prepared."
"However, because of the barrier, apart from me, the other Cosmic Emperors should still be unaware that you have stepped into the cosmic level."
"Since the other side has not yet fully shattered the barrier, I would suggest that you first acclimate yourself to the cosmic level, consolidate your new realm, and only then proceed to the final battle."
The Realm King still felt that Shi Jin was too impatient—he had only just broken through...
"You are right. Then let us prepare a while longer." Shi Jin smiled and said, "I will go notify some acquaintances, so that when the cosmic war breaks out, they will not be caught unprepared and panic."
"When the time comes, if possible, please, Lord Realm King, hold off the Beast King and ensure that the two cosmic-level beings cannot invade the Cosmic Sea. Let the Empress assist you. As for me, I will confront the Dark King directly."
The Realm King plus the Empress—surely they could not fail to defeat the Beast King.
That way, the Realm King should still have attention to spare to protect the Cosmic Sea.
And thus prevent places like Blue Star from being caught in the crossfire.
In short, the battlefield absolutely had to be kept outside the Cosmic Sea—confined to the Land of Pollution and the Giant Beast Empire.
As for himself... Shi Jin felt that with his current strength, combined with so many tamed beasts, a direct showdown with the Dark King was hardly unreasonable.
True, at present Shi Jin was only a cosmic-level, and a newly ascended one at that. Facing a veteran cosmic-level like the Dark King, he ought, in theory, to be at a disadvantage.
But do not forget—Shi Jin could, at any time and any place, strengthen any one of his tamed beasts from the Xuánxiāo Peak to the cosmic level.
If he wished, this second he could make Susu cosmic-level; the next second, make Eleven cosmic-level; and the second after that, make Qi cosmic-level as well.
That way, in terms of skills, he would have a great many options, leaving his opponent unable to guard against them all.
